Da Nang affirms popularity as favorite destination

According to data from Agoda, an online travel platform, Da Nang continues to affirm its appeal as it is cited as the second most popular destination in Viet Nam for families in the region and around the world. Da Nang is emerging as a favorite destination for 2026.

In addition, improved infrastructure, quality services, and diverse tourism products contributed to reaffirming Da Nang’s position as an ideal destination for multi-generational holidays. Also according to Agoda, the demand for family travel to Vietnam rose by 30% compared to the same period last year. This indicated that Vietnam is increasingly becoming a preferred choice during the year-end travel season. The top four most searched destinations in Vietnam were Phu Quoc in An Giang Province, Da Nang, Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa Province, and Ho Chi Minh City. For Da Nang, the Agoda ranking not only reflects the popularity among international tourists but also holds strategic significance in positioning the city as a leading resort and entertainment destination for families and multi-generational travelers. The steady growth demonstrates that the city’s unique tourism products have successfully met the needs of high-spending markets with longer lengths of stay. The result also provides an important foundation for Da Nang to continue expanding its promotional efforts to such key markets as South Korea, Japan, Chinese-speaking markets, Southeast Asia, Australia, and India, where the demand for family travel continues to rise towards the end of the year. According to a spokesperson for the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, in 2025, the city’s tourism sector has been consistently honored by prestigious international organizations and magazines. Specifically, the international travel magazine AFAR has included Da Nang in its list of 26 must-visit destinations for 2026. Meanwhile, at the 32nd World Travel Awards (WTA) 2025 ceremony held in Bahrain in early December, Hoi An was honored as Asia’s Leading Cultural City Destination, marking the fifth consecutive year the city has won this title after surpassing six other nominated cities in Asia. Two iconic local dishes, Quang noodles and Cao Lau, have continued to make their marks as they have been named by Taste Atlas among the top 100 best noodle dishes in the world in 2026. Notably, Da Nang has ranked among the top 10 most searched destinations by both domestic and international tourists during the 2026 New Year holiday. Developed by Sun Group, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, has won the title of “World’s Leading Green Resort 2025”. According to the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, to provide a comprehensive experience for tourists, the city has effectively implemented tourism promotion and communications activities alongside programs supporting MICE tourism, wedding tourism, golf tourism, and culinary tourism. Furthermore, the city has laid an emphasis on upgrading existing tourism products, developing new ones, and organizing a wide range of exciting events and festivals for both residents and visitors. en.baodanang.vn TỔNG ĐÀI DỊCH VỤ CÔNG: (0236) 1022 hoặc *1022, miễn phí phục vụ   1.
