With pristine beaches of sparkling white sand and emerald water, a modern city full of cool cafés and night markets to explore, and luxurious theme parks housing plenty of entertainment, Đà Nẵng is one of the hottest tourism destinations in Vietnam.

Domestic travel encouraged in Vietnam

Having recorded no new COVID-19 community transmission for 46 days, Vietnam is one of the few countries where people can lead a relatively normal life and are actually encouraged to travel more to help restore the tourism industry.
