On the morning of September 3, 2026, the Standing Committee of the Da Nang Tourism Association held a working session with the Organizing Committee of DITF – Da Nang International Tourism Festival 2026 to review progress and agree on key tasks during the final preparation phase for the event.
Carrying the message “Connecting Partners, Creating Future”, DITF 2026 is scheduled to take place from October 16–19, 2026, with the main series of activities focusing on October 17–18 at the Ariyana Convention Centre Danang.
Not just creating meetings – but aiming for connections that lead to cooperation
During the meeting, the Standing Committee and the Organizing Committee focused on reviewing critical items, including the invitation of buyers and sellers, the organization of Business Matching, product survey programs, specialized workshops, exhibition spaces, reception activities, and logistics.
According to the ongoing plan, DITF 2026 aims for a scale of over 1,500 attendees, gathering:
🔹 More than 150 international buyers
🔹 More than 400 domestic buyers
🔹 More than 200 sellers
However, the goal of DITF does not stop at scale or the number of attendees. The core value of the program lies in the quality of each meeting, the compatibility between partners, and the ability to transform connections at the event into real cooperation opportunities.
The Standing Committee of the Da Nang Tourism Association and the DITF 2026 Organizing Committee review progress and agree on key tasks during the final sprint before the event.
International and domestic buyers will be arranged into separate working sessions, combined with tours of product display spaces and attendance at specialized workshops. Through this, each Business Matching appointment is not only an opportunity to exchange information but also opens up chances to build tours, develop products, and form long-term cooperative relationships.
Making destination experiences a part of trade promotion activities
One of the unique features of DITF 2026 is that the program is not limited to B2B table meetings.
Buyers will have the opportunity to directly survey and experience Da Nang’s tourism ecosystem, from hotels and resorts, cuisine, and entertainment to the destination’s new products and services.
This is also a direction that the Da Nang Tourism Association emphasizes: so that buyers do not just hear about products but can also directly experience and evaluate the possibility of including products in tour programs and move towards cooperation immediately after the event.
Because in tourism promotion, a real-life experience can be many times more persuasive than information presented in documents.
From Da Nang to international markets – from Vietnam to new opportunities
DITF is oriented not only as an event exclusively for the Da Nang tourism business community.
Through a network of buyers, sellers, airlines, OTAs, travel agencies, and domestic and international partners, the Da Nang Tourism Association aims to gradually build DITF into an annual tourism trade meeting point.
Here, destinations and businesses across Vietnam can introduce products, reach potential visitor markets, and seek new cooperation opportunities.
Parallel to B2B activities, DITF 2026 also features specialized workshops on tourism development, service survey programs, product exhibition spaces, a Welcome Dinner, and a Gala Dinner. The series of activities is designed to maintain a continuous networking environment between buyers, sellers, management agencies, experts, and the business community throughout the event.
Following the success of DITF 2025, DITF 2026 is expected to expand international connections, enhance B2B trade efficiency, and create practical cooperation opportunities, contributing to bringing Da Nang and Vietnamese tourism closer to the global market.
HORECFEX Vietnam continues to accompany and expand the DITF 2026 ecosystem
A notable highlight of this year’s DITF is the partnership with HORECFEX Vietnam.
This combination contributes to expanding the DITF ecosystem from destination promotion and tourism trade to content on technology, innovation, and new solutions for the hotel – restaurant – tourism industry.
Through this, DITF not only asks the question: “How to bring more visitors to Da Nang and Vietnam?”, but also addresses a broader issue:
“How does the tourism industry need to change to create new products, enhance customer experiences, and increase competitive capacity in the future?”
The partnership with HORECFEX Vietnam will help create a bridge between markets – destinations – technology – aviation – accommodation – cuisine and solution providers, clearly demonstrating the “Connecting Partners, Creating Future” spirit that DITF 2026 aims for.
With just over a month to go, DITF 2026 will officially take place. In the coming time, the Standing Committee of the Da Nang Tourism Association, along with the Organizing Committee, sub-associations, and related units, will continue to finalize each item, with a special focus on the quality of buyers, the effectiveness of B2B appointments, and the depth of the experience program.
Every task being completed today is the foundation for DITF 2026 to become a place where meetings create opportunities, experiences pave the way for cooperation, and connections together create the future of the tourism industry.
