(PLVN) - The Da Nang International Fireworks Festival is a prominent event to promote the image and people of this "livable city", thereby attracting a large number of tourists to visit, explore and experience.

On January 8, the People's Committee of Da Nang City officially announced the launch of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2025 along with a series of accompanying events.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee, affirmed that tourism in 2024 will be a bright spot for the city's economy . In particular, DIFF is one of the reasons why the number of visitors to Da Nang is constantly increasing every year. In 2008, the first year of the Da Nang International Fireworks Competition, the city welcomed more than 1.2 million visitors, with revenue of just over VND810 billion.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee, affirmed that tourism in 2024 is a bright spot for the city's economy. In particular, DIFF is one of the reasons why the number of visitors to Da Nang is constantly increasing every year. After 12 times of organization, the city has upgraded it to the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival.

After 12 times of organization, the city has upgraded it to the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival and the number of visitors in 2024 served by accommodation establishments is estimated to reach nearly 10.9 million, an increase of over 32% compared to 2023, exceeding 35% compared to 2019 (the year before the COVID-19 pandemic). Tourism revenue in 2024 increased to nearly 38,000 billion VND. “The return of DIFF from 2023, after more than 3 years of interruption due to COVID-19, has brought a strong boost to help Da Nang tourism flourish and achieve extremely impressive growth marks. Not only acting as a "magnet" to attract visitors, DIFF has affirmed its position as an international-class festival, so the People's Committee of Da Nang City continues to invest in upgrading DIFF so that Da Nang is worthy of the title "Asia's leading event and festival destination", Ms. Thi emphasized.

Sharing more, Vice President and General Director of Sun Group Central Region Huynh Nam Thang said that in more than 1 month of DIFF 2024, Da Nang City welcomed more than 1.5 million visitors, an increase of 60%. Of which, revenue from accommodation, food and beverage, and travel services in June 2024 reached VND 16,344 billion, an increase of 28.2% compared to DIFF 2023.

Han River is brilliant with fireworks.

According to Mr. Thang, after 12 years of taking place, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival has become a branded festival. It is time for Da Nang to have a large-scale, systematic investment strategy and specific, drastic actions to elevate the position of this festival and the brand of "fireworks city", especially in the context of many domestic destinations making positive investment moves in fireworks, typically Phu Quoc has turned itself into a destination with fireworks 365 days a year.

Mr. Thang suggested that Da Nang City needs an ecosystem for fireworks that is worthy and classy. If invested in a high-quality infrastructure system, typically a square or stage, a large-scale fireworks stand, DIFF will certainly be elevated to a new level, and at the same time contribute to making Da Nang a destination for festivals and events throughout the four seasons.

At that time, the Han River city will not only be crowded with tourists during the fireworks, but can also become a meeting place for entertainment events, large-scale shows and international music festivals.

DIFF has become a prestigious and classy playground that any international artillery team wants to conquer.

“DIFF 2025 is well prepared in terms of fireworks, scenarios, and the largest number of 10 teams ever, with a variety of sideline programs. Especially, technology applications such as virtual assistants and technology apps will be applied to give visitors a new experience,” said Mr. Thang.

Mr. Ho Thanh Tu, Chairman of the Da Nang City Tourism Association, revealed that with DIFF 2025, the Tourism Association has plans to stimulate demand through the aviation and hotel industries with many combos, additional culinary activities, a series of summer events, and night services to enhance the experience for tourists...

The number of international and domestic visitors exceeded the 2024 plan and was higher than in 2019.

With the theme “Da Nang - New Era”, DIFF 2025 promises to be not only the longest and biggest fireworks season in DIFF history, with the most competition nights and teams ever, but also bring the ultimate and emotional experiences to the audience thanks to breakthrough technological innovations combined with impressive art, music and sports performances. In addition to preparing categories for DIFF 2025, Sun Group is also urgently planning a series of accompanying events, new and unique tourism products to enhance the experience for visitors, while enhancing the competitiveness of Da Nang tourism in 2025.

In particular, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the city's liberation, DIFF 2025 is expected to contribute to affirming the position and outstanding development of Da Nang, marking a historic moment in the development journey of the city on the Han River.
