In 2025, with the expansion of the international air network and direct flights, Da Nang promises a promising year for the city's tourism industry, attracting a large number of international tourists.
According to data from the Da Nang Department of Tourism, in 2024, the city strongly recovered after the pandemic and welcomed more than 10.9 million visitors, of which international visitors accounted for about 4.1 million, an increase of 36.3% compared to the previous year. On that growth trend, in 2025, Da Nang's tourism industry aims to welcome more than 11.9 million visitors, of which international visitors are estimated at more than 4.8 million.
One of the key factors driving this growth is the strong development of the international flight system.

In 2025, many new routes are planned to be exploited, helping to connect Da Nang with important economic and tourism centers around the world.
