Developing Da Nang Bay into a city on the sea.

On March 19th, Da Nang issued a decision on adjusting the overall socio-economic development plan of Da Nang city for 2020, with a vision to 2030.

Accordingly, Da Nang will strive for an economic growth rate of 12% per year during the 2021-2030 period. The economic structure will be divided into: the service sector, including tourism, at 67-68%; the industrial and construction sector at 31-32%; and agriculture at 1%. The city's population is projected to reach 2.5 million people, of which the official population will be 1.5 million.

Specifically in the service sector, Da Nang aims to develop tourism linked with resort real estate, and develop seaports and airports in conjunction with logistics services. There are four main tourism investment priorities in Da Nang for the period up to 2030: Developing Son Tra into a high-end eco-tourism area, linking tourism with nature conservation and biodiversity; Developing Da Nang Bay into a coastal city; Developing the city center with a full range of shopping streets and traditional restaurants; and Developing entertainment projects, suburban tourist destinations, and regional linkages.

The highlight of the plan is the project to develop Da Nang Bay into an area with unique architecture and services, with a portion of the bay becoming a "city on the sea," and specific policies to attract investment. Da Nang Bay possesses precious natural beauty, making it one of the most beautiful bays in the world, but its potential has not been fully exploited. Therefore, developing Da Nang Bay is one of the major plans for the future to contribute to enhancing the tourism value and stature of the city.

By 2030, Da Nang's main tourism product groups will include: beach tourism with diverse resort models suitable for all types of tourists; promoting the organization of international events to introduce Da Nang to the world media and attract international tourists; developing ecotourism and tourism focused on the region's history and culture; and improving and enhancing various types of entertainment and recreational services.
