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 U.S.

South Korean tourists totaled over 500,000 people, which accounted for the largest portion of 1.4 million international arrivals in the city in the five-month period of this year, according to the municipal Tourism Department.

Nguyen Ngoc Anh, director of the tourism firm Omega Tours, said that Danang is home to many tourist attractions and lots of beautiful beaches stretching for miles, adding that travel is made easier owing to many air services connecting South Korean cities with the Central coastal city. 

Therefore, South Korean travel agencies and air carriers have focused on operating and promoting tours to this coastal city.

Le Tan Thanh Tung, deputy director of Vitours JS Company, highlight special features of Danang such as a convenient location, modern facilities and full services, which make the city more advantageous than other localities.
