(VOV) – Thousands of sea and air travellers have visited the central coastal city of Danang during the past few days, heralding a bonanza year for the local tourism industry in the Year of the Horse.
The city’s Tien Sa port is expected to have received 25 five-star cruise ships in February, the first lunar month of 2014, according to international tour operators.
Defined as one of its five key economic sectors, the local tourism industry has boosted promotion, upgraded infrastructure, and diversified typical tourism products.
The city aims to receive 3.6 million foreign visitors in 2014.
Nguyen Xuan Binh, director of the Municipal Centre for Tourism Promotion, believes the target is within reach, citing Danang’s potential for tourism development, including distinctive products and tours, and strong support from municipal leaders.
The tourism industry also receives strong response from businesses and the public in developing tourism products and creating a friendly environment.
