Da Nang welcomes its first visitors of 2018

This is the first cruise ship carrying international visitors to arrive at Da Nang City in 2018.

Last year, there was a rapid increase in the number of visitors travelling by sea to Da Nang. The Central City received 78 cruise ships carrying 120,000 tourists, a year-on-year rise of 46%, the highest level for years.

Ngo Quang Vinh, director of Da Nang Department of Tourism, said that the new Tien Sa quay for cruise ships has come into operation in the hope that even more visitors will be welcomed to the city this year.

2017 is considered to have been a successful year for the tourism sector in Da Nang with the number of foreign arrivals to the city jumping by 36.8%. This figure is expected to continue rising this year.

The city will continue to diversify its tourism products, and encourage investors and businesses to organize more entertaining activities to stimulate visitors’ spending, Mr Vinh said.
