He highlighted its role in solidifying Da Nang’s status as a premier host of international events and festivals in Asia.
“Besides boosting Da Nang’s high-quality tourism, with a leisure tourism focus, the tournament will showcase the city’s allure to both domestic and international travelers,” Thao added.
