Da Nang confident of tourism demand

Da Nang will put an additional 1,800 new hotel rooms into operation this year, but the central coastal city is not worried about a guestroom oversupply.

Da Nang had 10,570 rooms at 326 hotels last year, and the number of rooms is expected to rise by around 5,000 by 2015.

There have been many famous hotel brands entering Da Nang, such as Pulchra Resort, InterContinental, Melia and Brilliant.

The city had 2.7 million tourists last year, up 12 per cent from the previous year, including nearly 631,000 foreign visitors.

In 2013 Da Nang will organise several tourism events, including the Da Nang International Fireworks Competition 2013 and the Da Nang International Marathon held by US-based World Marathon Tour Inc.-VNS
