According to representatives, beyond the distinctive values of a coastal city, Da Nang’s tourism strategy in the coming period will focus on leveraging local identity rather than simple expansion. The city benefits from its central location among neighboring world cultural heritage sites. It is also recognized for its strong climate change adaptation and effective regional management.

Notably, several tourism products have emerged closely linked with the urban core, such as the Ba Na Hills model, which organizes services in an integrated chain while maintaining strong control over visitor experience.

In the urban sector, the delegation had a working session with the Da Nang Department of Science and Technology. The city introduced operational systems including disaster management, vessel monitoring and real-time urban operations. A key highlight is the integration of data to support comprehensive city management.
