Da Nang strives to become a Southeast Asian metropolis.

Under a Government decision approving adjustments to the master plan of Da Nang by 2030 with a vision to 2045, the central city is set to be a modern, smart ecological urban area and a worth-living city where national defense and security, and the country’s sovereignty over seas and islands are ensured.

By 2045, Da Nang would be a major, smart, creative and sustainable urban area, according to the scheme. Tourism will drive the city’s development with different forms like maritime, ecological, community-based, cultural, historical and spiritual tourism, along with entertainment and shopping activities.

To that end, it will invest in big projects such as the VinaCapital golf course project, a complex in service of the Da Nang international fireworks festival, the Ba Na-Suoi Mo tourism complex, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula resort, and industrial clusters.

It will also roll out major transport projects, including upgrading and expanding Da Nang International Airport.
