Indonesian famtrip delegation explores Da Nang

The group took time to explore a number of popular destinations in Da Nang, including Ba Na Hills, Marble Mountains, Cham Museum, and Hoi An Ancient Town in the central province of Quang Nam.

As part of the occasion, the Da Nang Department of Tourism organised a talk to seek solutions aimed at attracting more Indonesian tourists and accelerating the launch of flights from Indonesia to Da Nang.

At the event, representatives of the Department of Tourism, local airlines, and businesses provided Indonesian firms with typical tourism products and services.

Furthermore, representatives of the Indonesian firms also gave information on the Indonesian tourism market and co-operative opportunities that exist in terms of transporting tourists.

Participants also discussed solutions aimed at effectively exploiting flights from Indonesia, including charter and connecting flights, whilst also promoting the opening of direct flights from Indonesia to Da Nang.

Indonesia is viewed as a potentially lucrative market as it boasts the fourth largest population in the world and the largest population in Southeast Asia with more than 280 million people, mainly Muslims.

Since 2023, Da Nang International Airport has put into use a prayer room to serve Muslim passengers, while several accommodation facilities in the city have also set up prayer rooms and introduced Muslim-friendly services.

In 2023, as many as 26,000 Indonesian tourists arrived in Da Nang, accounting for about 25% of the total number of Indonesian visitors to Vietnam.

Nguyen Thi Hoai An, deputy director of the Department of Tourism of Da Nang, said the city’s tourism industry is striving to launch charter flights to the most populous Muslim country in Asia and to receive the influx of these tourists in the future, she noted.
