DNO - Vietnam is steadily strengthening its position on Asia’s tourism map in 2026, with Da Nang and Phu Quoc emerging as two dynamic forces redefining the country as a premier “multi-generational destination.”
Da Nang: Ideal multi-generational destination appeal

According to a recent feature by Channel News Asia (CNA), supported by travel data from Expedia and Skyscanner, Vietnam is fast becoming one of the region’s brightest rising stars.
The appeal lies not only in its natural beauty, but in its rare ability to bring different generations together in a single, seamless travel experience.
In Central Vietnam, Da Nang is witnessing double-digit growth as families increasingly seek immersive cultural experiences alongside beachside relaxation.
The city offers a compelling blend of tradition and modernity. Just a short drive away from the Da Nang centre, Hoi An enchants visitors with its lantern-lit ancient town and well-preserved heritage architecture, offering grandparents a rich journey through history and culture.
“Grandparents get their fix of history and heritage architecture, parents their cafes, spas and shopping jaunts, and kids? Enough sandy beaches and theme parks to exhaust them by dinner.” CNA noted.

Phu Quoc - An Island where every age finds its wonder
Phu Quoc, or “Pearl Island” is experiencing a remarkable surge in popularity for 2026. According to Skyscanner’s Cyndi Hui, Phu Quoc saw a striking 184 percent increase in searches, ranking second on the platform’s trending destinations list.
Such figures signal a profound shift in global travel interest toward Vietnam’s southern gem.
“One of the key attractions in Phu Quoc is VinWonders, the largest theme park in Vietnam with dedicated kids zones, water playgrounds, roller-coasters and indoor attractions.
Phu Quoc also offers experiences like cable car rides, wildlife parks and island-hopping adventures. It’s a really beautiful place for a family to relax, strolling at the night markets and farms (bee, pepper, pearl etc),” said Hui on CNA.
They are simple but meaningful experiences that connect travelers with local culture and craftsmanship. These slower, sensory moments complement the island’s more dynamic offerings, creating a holistic family retreat.
Outstandingly, U.S.-based travel site Travel Off Path recently described Phu Quoc as an “Asian star,” highlighting its breathtaking scenery and distinctive experiences.
The platform challenged readers to rethink their image of Vietnam moving beyond rice paddies and bustling city streets to envision a sophisticated beach destination with global appeal.
Together, Da Nang and Phu Quoc illustrate Vietnam’s evolving tourism identity. They reflect a country that honors its heritage while confidently investing in modern infrastructure and family-oriented experiences.
In 2026, Vietnam is not simply welcoming more visitors, it is redefining what it means to travel together. For families seeking connection, discovery, and joy across generations, Vietnam stands ready, vibrant and welcoming.
