Da Nang (VNA) – The Da Nang city Depar꧟tment of Tourism has unveiled the 2025 tourism stimulus programme, themed "Enjoy Da Nang 2025 – Diverse Experience," featuring a wide range of events and incentives aimed at attracting visitors.
The programme consists of two key initiatives: "Enjoy Da Nang 2025 – Diverse Experience" – offering service discounts and gifts for all tourist markets, running throughout 2025, and "I Love Da Nang" – designed to encourage international tourists to return to the central coastal city, Truong Thi Hong Hanh, the department’s director said at a press conference on March 4.
Visitors can look forward to a variety of unique experiences, including the Quan The Am (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) festival and a series of celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of Da Nang’s Liberation. These festivities will feature spectacular fireworks displays, special art performances, the "Da Nang: Past and Present" exhibition, the Da Nang Open Traditional Boat Race 2025 – VTV8 Cup, as well as exciting paragliding and hot air balloon shows.

In addition to these events, the programme includes exclusive promotions on sightseeing tours, entertainment activities, and resort experiences.
More than 200 tourism businesses in Da Nang have joined the initiative, offering over 30,000 free or discounted vouchers (with discounts ranging from 20% to 50%) for attractions, performances, accommodations, transportation, and dining.
This year, Da Nang aims to welcome 11.9 million visitors, including 4.8 million foreigners, up 10% and 17% year-on-year, respectively. The city also targets a total tourism revenue of over 36 trillion VND (1.4 billion USD) from accommodations, dining, and travel services./.
Investors at a recent forum in Singapore expressed interest in learning more about Da Nang's investment environment, regulatory innovation commitments, and opportunities the city offers to international investors.
This marks the third consecutive year that the Da Nang Department of Tourism has participated in South Asia’s largest annual travel fair, aiming to increase the city’s presence in the booming Indian market. Currently, India ranks 4th among the top 10 international tourist markets for Da Nang, showing its growing importance.
Themed “Danang – The New Rising Era,” the festival, which will take place from May 31 to July 12, is expected to be the most intense competition yet, bringing together top-tier teams from the world's leading fireworks hubs.
Quang Duc pottery is known for its wide range of forms, including wine bottles, jars, lime pots, vases, plant pots, incense burners and candle stands. Decorative motifs are equally rich, featuring mythical creatures, pastoral scenes, floral patterns, deer, peacocks, bats and more.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
