Launching new products and services

New experiences include tea activities at Ban Co Peak Son Tra Peninsula and a night tour at Hoi An Prison, while businesses introduce new attractions like large-scale lantern shows at Hoi An Memories Lands.

Stabilising prices, stimulating demand
Da Nang is enhancing service quality, transparency, and safety while promoting digital transformation and sustainable tourism. Businesses are encouraged to strengthen linkages, diversify products, and actively engage in domestic and international promotion.
The tourism sector is fostering cooperation and rolling out stimulus packages targeting nearby markets such as Southeast and Northeast Asia. Companies are redesigning flexible, cost-efficient products, while hotels and service providers offer combo deals to attract visitors.
