It took up to one year to prepare for the festival with the participation of more than 2,000 staff from Đà Nẵng and Sun Group and a total investment of hundreds of billions of Vietnamese đồng sponsored by Sun Group. Those made the DIFF 2024 the largest-ever of its kind so far.
With the companionship of businesses and the drastic work of local authorities, DIFF 2024 has become a magnet drawing visitors to Đà Nẵng.

Throughout the summer months, a series of popular shows at Bà Nà Hills gathering the world’s top circus and magic stars have turned Đà Nẵng into a capital of art.
The Fairy Blossom show alone brings together more than 200 international and Vietnamese artists, including the world’s Number 1 male pole circus artist; the famous twin stars who once rocked The Ellen Show, and a couple of Russia’s top artists who are frequent guests of royal events.
In the centre of the city, the Đà Nẵng Downtown was built to recreate the world-famous “entertainment district” model with many exciting high-class experiences and shows all around the clock.
Awaken River is a show that awakens the west bank of the Hàn River with Jetski and Flyboard adventure sports performances which look like coming out of Hollywood movies. Meanwhile, the show Symphony of River is an impressive combination of jetski and flyboards, lighting, circus and dance performances with the participation of nearly 100 international artists. The most impressive thing at this show is the nightly fireworks display, continuing to affirm Đà Nẵng’s brand as the capital of fireworks and light and the most worth-visiting city in Việt Nam.
Besides unique shows at famous tourist destinations, Đà Nẵng also continuously organises international events and festivals throughout the summer such as the second Đà Nẵng Asian Film Festival, the ASEAN Schools Games, the Asian Golf Tournament, or the Enjoy Danang festival that is taking place from July 17-21 with a series of art, culinary, sports activities, sailing demonstration and drone shows.
With a series of festivals continuously held on a large scale, accommodation facilities in Đà Nẵng are invested more and more to meet the increasing number of visitors to the city. As of July 2024, there are about 1,297 tourist accommodation establishments with 46,035 rooms in the city (an increase of 117 establishments with 4,035 rooms compared to the same period in 2023). They include 104 establishments with 20,358 rooms rated four- and five-star; and 1,193 establishments with 25,677 rooms rated 3-star and lower.
With synchronous investment in tourism, especially international festivals and tourism products, Đà Nẵng is affirming its outstanding socio-economic growth. According to Đà Nẵng Department of Tourism, in the first six months of the year, the total number of visitors staying in the city reached 5.1 million, including 2 million international visitors, an increase of more than 40 per cent compared to 2023.
Dining and accommodation service revenue reached nearly 13 trillion đồng, an increase of 22.2 per cent compared to 2023. The city’s economy expanded 8.35 per cent in the second quarter of 2024, and 5 per cent in the first half of this year.
Đà Nẵng strives to attract more than 8 million visitors in 2024, 6 per cent higher than last year, completely recovering to the peak level recorded in 2019. With the cooperation of the government, businesses and people, this goal is considered within reach, paving the way to realise the city’s goal to become one of the major socio-economic hubs of the country and Southeast Asia by 2030.
When the special policy for Đà Nẵng is implemented and Đà Nẵng successfully builds Việt Nam’s first free trade zone, Đà Nẵng’s growth will be strongly accelerated. Under the Politburo’s Resolution 43 with a vision to 2045, Đà Nẵng City strives to become a big ecological and smart urban area, a startup and innovation hub, and a livable coastal city in Asia. VNA
