Da Nang has gained the second position among top ten destinations favored by South Korean families and couples, just behind Osaka City in Japan, according to a recent analysis done by the tour operator Ticket Monster Inc.
The analysis is based on the number of tours booked in the next two months via the travel agency.
Apart from groups of families and couples, South Korean individuals traveling alone prefer to go to the coastal city, followed by Tokyo in Japan, Bangkok in Thailand, the Guam Island in the US.
South Korean tourists totaled over 500,000 people, which accounted for the largest portion of 1.4 million international arrivals in Da Nang in the first five-month of 2018, according to the municipal Tourism Department.
