Photo Contest Showcases Da Nang's Appeal Through International Lenses

Da Nang City has announced a photo contest designed to capture the city's charm through international perspectives. The competition aims to showcase Da Nang's diverse culture, landscapes, and people's lives globally, leveraging the varied viewpoints of its foreign community, diplomatic missions, international organizations, press agencies, professional and amateur photographers, and visitors. Speaking at the launch ceremony, Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee and head of the contest’s organizing committee, highlighted the objective of broadly promoting Da Nang's unique appeal to the international community, thereby boosting tourism and enhancing the city's image. In recent years, Da Nang has been focusing on strengthening its tourism industry. The city is promoting its distinctive cuisine as a key tourism attraction and is also implementing criteria for green tourism accommodations, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable tourism development. Furthermore, Da Nang seeks to establish itself as a strategic investment destination. This photo contest is part of broader efforts to raise international interest and highlight the city's multifaceted appeal. Da Nang is one of the cities driving Vietnam's rapid economic growth, attracting investment particularly in sectors such as tourism, IT, and manufacturing. Since the economic liberalization policies under its one-party system (Doi Moi), Vietnam has actively welcomed foreign investment, leading to economic development. Da Nang has also benefited from this, with ongoing infrastructure and urban development. Regarding relations with China, while Vietnam faces issues such as the South China Sea dispute, it maintains economic ties, and Da Nang holds a strategically important position in its relationship with China.
