NATURE – A PREREQUISITE FOR A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS FUTURE

Within the framework of the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos 2026, Swiss environmental conservationist and philanthropist André Hoffmann delivered a stark warning: “When nature no longer exists, humanity will not exist either—and business certainly will not.”

WEF research also shows that 53% of global GDP depends directly on nature (and the actual figure may be even higher). The message is unmistakably clear: protecting ecosystems is not merely an option, but a prerequisite for ensuring resilience, competitiveness, and long-term prosperity of the global economy. In other words, businesses, investors, and policymakers are compelled to act within planetary boundaries, for it is evident that without nature, humanity has no future.

Furama Villas Danang – A journey toward building a sustainable green ecosystem

The shared spirit of Davos 2026 regarding the importance of nature is precisely what Furama Resort & Villas Danang recognized from its earliest days. For nearly three decades, the resort has remained steadfast in its philosophy of harmonious development with nature—well ahead of a time when the concept of sustainable tourism was still relatively new in Vietnam.

Since construction began in 1994 and operations commenced in 1997, the resort chose a natural tropical forest landscape design rather than the meticulously manicured bonsai gardens that were prevalent at the time. This bold decision helped shape a nature-friendly design trend within Vietnam’s high-end resort industry during that period.

Green coverage shaping a nature-harmonized resort experience

The result of nearly 30 years of a “green” vision is a remarkably rich man-made tropical garden ecosystem at the heart of the resort. Approximately 80% of the resort’s total area (equivalent to nearly 3 hectares) is dedicated to green spaces, fostering a diverse ecosystem of hundreds of plant species along with birds and butterflies. With more than 100 species of vegetation, including shrubs, wide-canopy trees, and many heritage trees aged 40–50 years, rows of towering coconut palms, areca palms, and tropical almond trees planted around the buildings—together with shaded forest canopies—have transformed the resort into a true “green lung” in the heart of coastal Danang. The garden is maintained entirely in harmony with nature—without chemicals or synthetic fertilizers—relying solely on water, sunlight, wind, and the meticulous care of the gardening team.

Furama Villas Danang is enveloped by dense greenery, creating a secluded and refreshingly cool environment

Thanks to this nature-aligned approach, Furama’s green landscape is preserved in a state of vitality and balance, contributing to the creation of a refined and harmonious ecosystem throughout the resort.

When nature is nurtured properly, it naturally creates a sustainable ecosystem

When nature is cared for in the right way, it inherently gives rise to a sustainable ecosystem. As the world increasingly reassesses the relationship between people and the environment, sustainable development models like that of Furama Resort & Villas Danang are no longer mere trends—they have become inevitable standards.

This is not only a sustainable business strategy, but also a consistent choice of how to exist and grow within nature. From this choice, Furama contributes a compelling voice to the present: investing in nature is not a cost, but a long-term investment in the future of communities, businesses, and the planet itself.

Engaging guests in the green mission at Furama Villas Danang

Beyond creating green landscapes, Furama Resort & Villas Danang thoughtfully integrates nature conservation into the guest experience, turning it into a shared story of the tourism community. The “Go Green @ Fabulous Furama” program is a flagship initiative, inviting every guest to personally plant a tree within the resort grounds and attach their name to it. Each sapling not only helps expand the “Furama forest” over time, but also becomes a meaningful personal memory—allowing guests to know they have contributed to the greenery of this place. This unique tree-planting initiative has been warmly embraced by guests, naturally and deeply spreading the message of environmental protection.

Alongside the tropical gardens and tree-planting program, the resort has developed a variety of engaging green experiences that connect families and children with nature. Within the grounds of Furama Villas Danang, shaded walking paths invite families to stroll, relax, and explore together. Young guests, in particular, delight in the on-site mini farm, where small animals such as rabbits and chickens roam freely in the garden, alongside peacocks displaying their vibrant plumage—creating a lively countryside atmosphere. Children can feed the rabbits, run freely on the grass, breathe in the fresh air, and learn to appreciate nature through these simple yet joyful moments.

Families can also visit Furama Food Farm, the resort’s 2-hectare organic farm, where they can harvest fresh vegetables by hand and learn about a closed-loop circular agriculture model. These hands-on experiences not only strengthen intergenerational bonds but also help every guest—especially children—gain a deeper understanding of environmental values and spread a green lifestyle.

In parallel with integrating nature into every resort experience, Furama Resort & Villas Danang has pioneered numerous sustainable operational initiatives to minimize environmental impact. The resort leads the way in eliminating single-use plastics, utilizing lemongrass straws and wooden utensils, and operating electric buggies to reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions. Solar energy systems and energy-efficient LED lighting are also in place. Furama further collaborates with local communities on sustainable agriculture projects and operates the on-site ISO-certified Fredaqua water plant, supplying purified drinking water in glass bottles to replace single-use plastic bottles. All of these efforts share a common goal: minimizing environmental impact, harmonizing business with nature, and aligning with the WEF vision of “development within planetary boundaries.”

BUILDING A FRIENDLY DESTINATION, EFFECTIVELY TAPPING INTO THE HALAL MARKET

As the global Halal (Islamic) tourism market continues to grow rapidly, Đà Nẵng is assessed as a destination with strong advantages to take the lead and deepen its participation in this highly potential segment. Developing a service ecosystem tailored to Muslim travelers not only helps expand markets and enhance tourism competitiveness, but also reinforces Đà Nẵng’s image as a safe, civilized destination that respects cultural diversity and promotes international integration.

Affirming a Safe and Friendly Destination

In 2025, Đà Nẵng welcomed more than 17.3 million overnight visitors, up 15% compared to 2024; international arrivals reached over 7.6 million, marking an increase of up to 25%. Revenue from accommodation, food services, and travel activities was estimated at approximately VND 60 trillion, continuing to serve as a key pillar of the city’s economic structure.

Đà Nẵng focuses on promoting high-spending and long-stay visitor segments, particularly from Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, India, Australia, and Europe; while expanding into potential markets such as the Middle East, CIS, and the United States through the restoration and launch of new international flight routes.

In 2025 alone, the city implemented various Halal market promotion initiatives, attracting more than 617,000 Muslim visitors from Indonesia, Malaysia, CIS, and the Middle East. At the same time, many major tourism and accommodation enterprises in Đà Nẵng proactively standardized services, invested in infrastructure, and improved service quality to meet the specific needs of this market segment.

According to Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People’s Committee Nguyễn Thị Anh Thi, with its favorable location, high-quality services, safe and friendly environment, and increasingly完善 infrastructure, Đà Nẵng is now ready to supply and serve Muslim travelers, aiming to build the image of Đà Nẵng as a Muslim-friendly tourism destination.

Forming a Halal Tourism Ecosystem and the Role of Enterprises

Along with the city’s orientation and the National Project “Enhancing International Cooperation to Build and Develop Vietnam’s Halal Industry by 2030,” Đà Nẵng’s Halal tourism ecosystem is gradually taking shape with increasingly proactive participation from the business community.

Currently, the city has more than 800 Muslim-friendly dining establishments, including nearly 40 specialized Halal/Indian restaurants, over 10 Halal-certified venues, and numerous hotels and restaurants that have adjusted menus and service styles to suit Middle Eastern and CIS markets.

Among pioneering enterprises, Furama Resort & Villas Danang is recognized as one of the leading units in developing a Halal-friendly resort model. As the first five-star resort in Đà Nẵng to officially receive Halal-friendly certification, Furama has comprehensively implemented Halal standards across cuisine, operations, and service spaces, contributing to the completion of the local Halal supply chain.

Furama Resort & Villas Danang receives Halal-friendly certification

To meet the market’s stringent requirements, Furama Resort & Villas Danang closely cooperates with HalalTrip.vn in controlling ingredients, food preparation processes, staff training, and the arrangement of prayer spaces. A dedicated Halal kitchen has been invested in and operated separately to prevent cross-contamination; meanwhile, prayer rooms are located at Furama International Convention Palace, particularly convenient for international MICE groups with Muslim participants. Amenities such as prayer mats and Qibla direction indicators in guest rooms are also provided upon request.

Halal cuisine at Furama Resort & Villas Danang is led by Chef Seikh Mursalim, a Muslim executive chef from India with more than 16 years of experience working with international hotel groups. Under his leadership, Halal dishes at Furama not only meet strict standards but also harmoniously blend local and international culinary essences.

In 2025, the Furama – Ariyana complex welcomed over 5,000 visitors from Halal markets such as India, CIS, and Malaysia. Guest satisfaction levels, particularly regarding Halal cuisine services and service quality, were rated very highly.

According to experts, the Halal market offers sustainable growth opportunities, helping Đà Nẵng balance its tourism markets and reduce dependence on traditional ones. In this context, Furama Resort & Villas Danang’s proactive investment, service standardization, and readiness to serve international MICE groups are seen as clear evidence of business alignment with the city’s Halal tourism development strategy.

With strong infrastructure, service quality, and international event-hosting experience, Furama Resort & Villas Danang continues to affirm its role as a leading Halal-friendly destination, contributing to Đà Nẵng’s goal of becoming a Muslim-friendly destination in Vietnam and the region.

DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER NGUYỄN HÒA BÌNH AND 800 DELEGATES AND INVESTORS GATHER AT ARIYANA CONVENTION CENTRE DANANG

The Conference announcing Resolution No. 259/2025/QH15 and promoting investment into Da Nang City in 2026, held under the Government’s close direction, opened a new chapter for the development of Central Vietnam. With the participation of more than 1,000 domestic and international delegates, the event was not merely a ceremony to announce a legal document, but a concrete action to realize the vision of turning Da Nang into an international growth pole.

The Government affirmed its enabling role by granting Da Nang maximum autonomy under a special mechanism.

Delivering directives at the conference, the Government’s representative emphasized that Resolution 259 is the “golden key” distilled from practical experience to address bottlenecks in infrastructure and institutions. The Government committed to accompanying the city in operating the first Free Trade Zone in Vietnam, creating an economic buffer capable of fair competition with major regional financial centers such as Singapore or Hong Kong.

Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Hòa Bình delivered directives at the event “Conference announcing Resolution No. 259/2025/QH15 and promoting investment into Da Nang City in 2026 and Meet Danang 2026”.

Da Nang presented decisions on investment policy approval, investment registration certificates, memoranda of understanding, and several related licenses.

The Government’s direct push to implement guiding decrees right at the conference demonstrated a decisive spirit—ensuring policies do not remain on paper. With the new legal corridor, Da Nang is granted greater proactiveness in attracting high-quality FDI flows, especially the “green lane” mechanism that helps shorten investment procedure timelines by 50% compared to normal regulations.

Impressive figures affirm the attractiveness of the “most livable city” in the pivotal year 2026.

The 2026 conference recorded new milestones with total registered investment capital and memoranda of understanding reaching an astonishing USD 5 billion. Among them, at least 10 projects with a scale of over USD 200 million in high-tech and logistics were granted investment certificates on the spot, demonstrating the absolute confidence of the international business community in the city’s stability and potential.

An overview of the event at Ariyana Convention Centre Danang.

In addition, the Government’s target by 2030 is for Da Nang to contribute 15% to the country’s digital economy growth. This figure is entirely feasible as the conference attracted the presence of 50 corporations on the Fortune 500 list, together with a commitment to train 20,000 high-quality semiconductor engineers from now until 2030 to serve production demand in smart industrial parks.

The Government prioritizes resources to complete strategic infrastructure as a launchpad for investors.

To realize the commitments in Resolution 259, the Government approved the medium-term public investment disbursement plan with the highest priority for Liên Chiểu Port and the upgrade of Da Nang International Airport’s international terminal. Once completed in the 2026–2027 period, these projects will triple current cargo handling capacity, turning Da Nang into a transshipment logistics hub of the East–West Economic Corridor.

Labor Hero Dr. Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo – Chairwoman of Sovico Group shared at the event.

The Government also directed relevant ministries and sectors to ensure clean energy infrastructure and broadband digital infrastructure reaching up to the fence line of industrial parks. This is a prerequisite for Da Nang to attract “eagles” in AI and big data, helping the city not only be strong in tourism but also firmly established in foundational industry.

The unity between the Government and local authorities creates a transparent and sustainable investment environment.

At the conclusion of the conference, the message of an action-oriented Government and a service-oriented Da Nang administration was strongly spread. The Government required Da Nang to maintain its position among the top three localities in the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR Index), considering these the most important measures to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing Resolution 259.

The 2026 event not only brought in multi-billion-dollar figures but also affirmed a new governance mindset: viewing business success as its own success. With strong support from the Government and superior special mechanisms, Da Nang is steadily moving toward the goal of becoming a special-class city, playing a leading role in driving the entire region’s economy to accelerate breakthroughs.

DA NANG MICE TOURISM 2026: HONORING BUSINESSES, ENCOURAGING GROUPS TO RETURN

Entering 2026, Da Nang continues to strengthen its position as one of the most dynamic and professional MICE destinations in Vietnam and the region with the official launch of the Da Nang MICE Tourism Promotion Program 2026, featuring multiple adjustments that place businesses and group experience at the center.

According to the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this year’s program will be implemented throughout the period from January 1 to December 31, 2026, under the theme “Da Nang – Elevating your MICE Experience.” The city aims to welcome and support nearly 93,000 MICE visitors, an increase of approximately 12% compared to 2025.

MICE Policy 2026: More flexibility, clearer recognition and appreciation

Building on the foundation established since 2022, the Da Nang MICE Program 2026 continues to maintain familiar support policies such as airport welcome services, gifts, event organization consultancy, and media connection. However, this year’s difference lies in a more flexible approach and a stronger emphasis on long-term partnership value.

Specifically, the eligibility scale has been adjusted: domestic MICE groups of 70 guests or more and international MICE groups of 30 guests or more can now access support policies, allowing the program to reach a wider audience—especially medium- and small-scale international groups.

For the first time, the recognition and appreciation of outstanding MICE enterprises are designed to deliver tangible promotional value, such as maintaining company names and logos on the city’s MICE communication channels for 6–12 months, support for promotional materials placement, and cost incentives when participating in domestic and international promotion activities.

Notably, the program also introduces a dedicated policy for MICE groups returning to Da Nang for the second time or more. These enterprises and groups are recognized as “Loyal MICE Partners” and receive experience vouchers for new tourism products and preferential pricing from partner businesses.

Alongside support policies, Da Nang continues to encourage tourism enterprises to engage more deeply in building the MICE ecosystem. A key focus is the collaborative development of the MICE Standard Checklist, aiming to standardize service quality across event organization stages—from accommodation and conferences to ancillary experiences.

In addition, the development of specialized product combos such as conference–resort–teambuilding packages, conferences combined with cultural, culinary, and Central Vietnam heritage experiences is encouraged, thereby increasing value per group and extending length of stay.
