“In the coming time, the tourism industry of Da Nang city will continue to coordinate with Malaysia Airlines to organize Famtrip, presstrip, and KOLs groups to experience Da Nang tourism and support communication activities to promote Da Nang to Malaysian tourists,” Mr. Vuong added.

Mr. Cao Tri Dung, Chairman of the Da Nang City Tourism Association, said that Malaysia Airlines opening a flight route to Da Nang is of great significance in promoting tourism in Da Nang city as well as opening up the possibility of exploiting the tourism market from Da Nang to other countries, especially the European market.
