Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai An, Deputy Director of Da Nang Department of Tourism, said that the Chinese market was considered a key market of Da Nang City before the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, the Chinese tourist market from Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, and Mainland China accounts for 17 percent of the total number of international visitors to Da Nang. This is the second largest market and continues to record positive growth signals.
The new direct service not only contributes to the recovery and development of the international flight network of Da Nang but also strengthens tourism promotion and promotes Da Nang tourism in the Chinese market as well as consolidates Da Nang's tourism position.
