From aviation gateways and heritage sites to entertainment and recreational areas, the surge in visitor numbers right from the start of the year is seen as a positive signal, raising expectations for a promising and prosperous year for the city’s tourism industry.

A Lively “First Footing” of the Year, Festive Atmosphere Spreads Across Destinations

A Bustling Aviation Gateway, Businesses Creating Momentum for Tourism in 2026

According to statistics from aviation authorities, during the 2026 New Year holiday (from December 30, 2025 to January 4, 2026), the total number of flights to Đà Nẵng was estimated at 831, an increase of nearly 14% compared to the same period last year. Both domestic and international flights recorded growth, indicating that travel and tourism demand to Đà Nẵng continues to maintain a positive momentum from the very beginning of the year.

The increase in flights, combined with simultaneous welcoming activities at multiple destinations, has contributed to a bright and optimistic outlook for the city’s tourism. At the same time, many tourist sites proactively refreshed their products and implemented specific programs and policies to stimulate tourism demand in the early months of the year. Some destinations developed festive spaces blending modern and traditional elements, while entertainment and resort areas introduced promotional packages and new experiences to enhance their appeal.

In the cultural and heritage sector, Hội An is expected to introduce many new tourism products in 2026, ranging from night tours and thematic visits to hands-on experiences in traditional crafts and folk arts, enriching visitors’ exploration journeys. According to plans, in 2026, Đà Nẵng’s tourism industry aims to serve approximately 19.1 million visitors, with revenue from accommodation, food services, and travel estimated at nearly VND 70 trillion, reflecting expectations for stable and sustainable growth.
