With over 5.8 million visitors in the first half of the year, an 18% increase, Da Nang solidifies its position as central Vietnam's tourism hub, especially after the VnExpress Marathon.
Tourists from Russia, Jamaica, France, and other countries express their love for Da Nang and anticipation for the VnExpress Marathon starting on 20/7.
More than 2,000 children energized the Tien Son Sports Palace on the morning of 19/7 as part of Kun Marathon, a companion event to VnExpress Marathon Da Nang 2025.
Diverse terrain, complete infrastructure, and tourism appeal make Da Nang an ideal destination for large-scale races, according to the city's tourism association president.
From July 15th to 21st, VnExpress Marathon Da Nang runners can experience art exhibitions, a diva's concert, flying pizza, and meet a Manchester United legend.
Runners should familiarize themselves with the schedule, race conditions, appropriate attire, nutrition plan, and transportation options to ensure a smooth and successful race experience.
Besides infrastructure, security, and environment, running and sports tourism enhance the image of a livable city, according to the chairman of the Da Nang Tourism Association.
