The programme, jointly organised by the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Vietravel, combined conferences, sightseeing, leisure activities and cultural experiences across the city.

One of the largest MICE groups to visit Da Nang this year, the delegation highlights the city’s capacity to host large-scale events and reinforces its reputation as a leading MICE hub in central Vietnam and nationwide.
