Looking back at 2024, Da Nang was chosen as the destination for the world-famous billionaire Bill Gates' vacation. The billionaire and his girlfriend visited Son Tra peninsula, viewed the city at the Ong Tien chessboard area, played tennis at the resort...

The leader of the Da Nang Department of Tourism said that the fact that billionaire Bill Gates chose Da Nang as a resort shows that the city's tourism industry is on the right track in attracting high-quality tourists.

In recent years, Da Nang has also been chosen by many billionaires from other countries as a resort when coming to Vietnam, and has also attracted the weddings of the rich Indian class. The weddings have 200-500 guests, lasting for many days at the city's luxury coastal resorts.

According to the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, the grand wedding of Indian couples and dozens of tourist weddings taking place locally are positive signs for the Da Nang tourism industry.

Not only Da Nang, Vietnam in general is also becoming the most sought-after destination for American tourists. According to Agoda data, Vietnam has risen from fourth place to number one in the list of most interested destinations for American tourists in 2024, surpassing even Japan.

The number of accommodation searches in Vietnam by American travelers in 2024 also increased by 174% compared to the previous year. According to Agoda statistics, American travelers are currently Vietnam's second largest market, behind only South Korea.

This strong growth is also in line with the Vietnamese Government's strategy, aiming to welcome 1.3 million American tourists by 2028 and put the US in the top 3 markets sending visitors to Vietnam.
