The group plans to take time to explore a number of popular tourist destinations throughout the city, including Ba Na Hills, the Marble Mountains, the Cham Museum, and Hoi An Ancient Town in nearby Quang Nam province.
The farmtrip, co-organised by Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center and Hai Van Cat International Travel Joint Stock Company, aims to seek solutions to lure more Indonesian tourists to the area and accelerate the launch of flights from Indonesia to Da Nang which is scheduled to open in October.
The Indonesian delegation will also attend a Gala Dinner and meet with local firms to discuss tourism co-operation opportunities.
Indonesia is widely viewed as a potentially lucrative market as it boasts the fourth largest population in the world and the largest population in Southeast Asia with more than 280 million people, the majority of whom are Muslims.
Since 2023, Da Nang International Airport has put into use a prayer room to serve Muslim passengers, while several accommodation facilities in the city have also set up prayer rooms and introduced Muslim-friendly services.
In 2023, as many as 26,000 Indonesian tourists arrived in the central city, accounting for about 25% of the total number of Indonesian visitors to Vietnam.
