Enjoying Multi-Experience Da Nang is the city's tourism development strategy, focusing on diversifying tourism products and services to enrich visitor experiences. Recognising India as a promising market, Da Nang is increasingly catering to Indian tourists' preferences to make itself more appealing to them.

Since 2022, India has emerged as one of the city’s top five international tourist markets. Statistics show that one in every two Indian visitors to Vietnam chooses Da Nang as their destination.

Da Nang’s tourism sector has been developing specialised product packages and incentive programmes for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and wedding tourism to enhance convenience and satisfaction for tourists./.
