One of Vietnam’s popular tourist destinations, Da Nang saw a jump in the number of tourist arrivals in January.
Around 263,000 travellers visited the coastal city last month, up 13.3 percent against January in 2014.
Of them, 112,000 were foreigners, a slight increase of 3.5 percent and 151,000 were local holiday-makers, jumping 21.9 percent from the same period last year.
