MICE tourism on the rise
Da Nang is also experiencing strong growth in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism, especially towards the end of the year. The variety of events goes beyond classic meetings and includes innovative tours and wellness experiences, such as Danang Fantasticity highlights. This makes Da Nang a particularly attractive destination, especially in the off-season.
The city's strategic location between the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hoi An and Hue, as well as the abundance of 5-star resorts on the coast, contribute to its increasing popularity as a MICE center. Events and incentive activities attract guests from various countries, with a focus on markets such as Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia.
