DA NANG — The central coastal city of Da Nang has seen robust growth in tourism, thanks to several festivals between May and September like the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival and Da Nang-Summer Destination 2018 programme.
According to Tran Chi Cuong, deputy director of the city Department of Tourism, 1.6 million tourists came in the past two months, a 26 per cent year-on-year increase.
Four million visitors are expected during upcoming festivals like the Da Nang International Marathon.
The tourism department said it has collaborated with Hoa Vang District authorities and travel firms to promote farming-tourism services in the district, with tourists visiting Phong Nam Village in Hoa Chau Commune, Gian Bi in Hoa Bac Commune and Thai Lai in Hoa Nhon Commune.
Da Nang has six organic rice fields with a combined area of nearly 150 hectares, and targets 500ha by 2020. Thus, the next logical step is creating a range of agricultural eco-tourism products. — VNS
