Now, with the new international air route, Đà Nẵng becomes even more popular to tourists.
Arrived passengers are scheduled to visit some local tourist sites. Meanwhile, travel agencies’ representatives have a discussion with their counterparts on Đà Nẵng’s tourism potentials in attracting Japanese tourists.

The Kansai-Đà Nẵng flight is the third flight between Japan and Đà Nẵng since the beginning of 2010, which ignites the launch of more direct air routes to other destinations of both countries in the future.

Việt Nam receives over 300,000 Japanese tourists each year. Among them, some 15,000 visit Đà Nẵng and most of them come to the city by sea.

Now, with the new air route, the city has a new opportunity to receive more Japanese visitors.

The same day, Seabourn Odessey cruise ship with 352 tourists from England and the US on board, docked at Đà Nẵng’s Tiên Sa Port. The tourists were scheduled to tour Đà Nẵng, Huế, Hội An and Mỹ Sơn.

In the first two months of this year, 12 international tourist ships docked at the port, bringing nearly 6,500 visitors to Đà Nẵng, Quảng Nam and Huế.

Đà Nẵng has recently become a hot attraction to many inbound and outbound tourists, especially during the approaching time to the international firework competition slated for March 27-28 in the city’s downtown.
