Da Nang is entering a golden era for Vietnamese beach tourism. With Emirates now on board, the gateway to international travellers is wider open than ever before.
Vietnam’s coastal tourism is flourishing. From Phu Quoc to Da Nang, these sun-drenched destinations are drawing record numbers of both local and global visitors. Da Nang, in particular, is emerging as Asia’s next luxury hotspot, with projections of 10.9 million visitors by the end of 2024 in a 33 per cent year-on-year rise, and ambitious targets of 11.9 million visitors and US$1.4 billion in tourism revenue by 2025.
With majestic mountains, a sweeping coastline, and a prime location between Hoi An and the former imperial capital Hue, Da Nang is graced with both natural beauty and cultural significance. A surge in five-star resorts only strengthens its credentials as a luxury haven. Yet, beyond the opulence of beachfront villas and fine dining, global appeal depends on seamless access.

The age of connection
Da Nang’s ascent as a luxury hub reflects Vietnam’s broader tourism vision. As the government prioritises sustainable development and high-value travellers, secondary cities like Da Nang are being reimagined as the next global gateways. Reaching this stature, however, demands more than beautiful resorts; it takes bold branding, world-class infrastructure and the backing of trusted global partners such as Emirates.
