This was announced by Da Nang Department of Tourism. The programme will introduce a series of 23 exciting events and promises to give visitors a new, interesting experience in Da Nang city this Summer. The programme will be held for the annual Summer travel stimulus and aimed at attracting tourists to Da Nang.
The opening ceremony for the 2018 Da Nang Summer Destination will be held at Bien Dong (East Sea) Park on June 16, featuring a series of attractive art performances in parallel with music programmes, street festivals and cuisine events.
In addition, the yoga festival will also be held on Da Nang’s beaches, offering tourists the chance to practise yoga with professional instructors. Cinema shows at sea will feature a series of free films on the theme of Vietnam and its tourism, including the Kong: Skull Island, a critical and commercial success which was filmed at various locations around Vietnam.
Both visitors and Da Nang locals will have the chance to enjoy activities throughout the programme, such as decorating and arranging coracles, joining coracle racing and singing.
A new feature for this year’s event is “awakening” the tourism potential of the beach along Nguyen Tat Thanh Street with many meaningful activities, such as a festival exchanging garbage for notebooks, Bai Choi folk singing, and cultural exchange programmes.
