The People’s Committee of Da Nang City has officially issued a plan to expand key tourism development toward the southern area for the 2026–2030 period. This strategy aims to diversify the local tourism ecosystem, relieve pressure on the urban core, and promote sustainable eco-tourism. To achieve this goal, the city has identified seven priority zones focusing on unique natural assets, including coastal, riverine, rural, and historic sites. Implementation is structured into two main stages: initial infrastructure setup, community training, and essential digital tool integration during 2026–2027, followed by expanded service quality and regional connectivity from 2028 to 2030. High-tech solutions like smart digital maps, AI analytics, bilingual QR lookup codes, and ubiquitous Wi-Fi will also be deployed across destinations. In conclusion, Da Nang’s southern tourism expansion underscores its commitment to modernizing visitor experiences while preserving natural and cultural identity.
