Alongside showcasing new products and technologies, HORECFEX Vietnam 2026 serves as a bridge connecting government agencies, hospitality businesses, technology firms, startups, investors and domestic and international organisations.
Also, the event also reflects Da Nang’s ambition to become more than a destination for major events.
By hosting forums spanning tourism, technology, finance, investment and innovation, Da Nang aims to build a regular meeting point for policymakers, experts, investors and businesses, creating opportunities for knowledge exchange and new partnerships.
As scheduled, during August 20-21, the forum focuses on key issues shaping the future of tourism, including market trends, regenerative tourism, digital transformation, human resources, MICE destination marketing, spa and wellness, leadership development and emerging technologies.
The programme also features the Viet Nam Hotel Association’s conference on the future direction of Vietnamese tourism, the signing of the “Da Nang Green Stay” memorandum of understanding, and an exhibition showcasing solutions in AI and technology, food and beverage, wellness, sustainability, communications, equipment and hospitality interiors.
