<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>4 core product groups</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Sharing the orientation for VIFC-DN, Mr. Ho Ky Minh, Standing Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee and Chairman of the VIFC-DN Executive Agency, noted that from January 9, 2026, the Vietnam International Financial Center officially operates under a "one center, two destinations" model in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. The two hubs will complement each other by leveraging their respective regional strengths.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Da Nang positions its financial hub based on its geo-strategic location and synchronized transport infrastructure featuring two airports, three seaports, expressways, railways, and connections across the Central Coast and Central Highlands regions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Consequently, VIFC-DN focuses on green finance and financial services supporting the Free Trade Zone and High-Tech Park, while acting as a gateway connecting international capital streams to Da Nang and localities nationwide.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Da Nang has set up VIFC-DN headquarters at Software Park No. 2 and begun attracting high-quality personnel, including foreign-trained Vietnamese professionals and international experts joining executive management.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">According to Standing Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh, VIFC-DN will roll out 04 key product groups: connecting Vietnamese enterprises issuing international bonds; developing green finance with carbon credits as a priority product targeting international markets; attracting financial institutions, investment funds, and global financial firms as members; and developing real-world asset (RWA) tokenization products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">VIFC-DN also established the VIFC Policy Lab to research and test new policy mechanisms, gradually converting international ideas and experiences into concrete models and products serving the financial center and the city.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>AI, Data, and Human Resources</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">During the panel, international experts noted that building a globally competitive financial center depends not only on capital or physical infrastructure, but on advanced technology, data, and high-quality human resources. These foundations will enable Da Nang to forge a unique identity during VIFC development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Professor Alfred Taudes from the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria) emphasized that AI will form the bedrock of future financial centers. VIFC-DN should be designed as an AI-native entity, integrating AI directly into its operational backbone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Beyond tech infrastructure investments, establishing open data systems, standardizing data governance, and training experts skilled in both finance and AI system development/supervision remain vital.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Professor Taudes stressed that data is the "raw material" of AI. A modern financial center must ensure data sharing, set open banking standards, and create transparent data governance mechanisms that drive innovation while controlling risk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Regarding human capital, Dr. Wojtek Wojaczek, Director of the IPIP Program (University of Cambridge), stated that the most critical capital for a financial center is people, not money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">He recommended that Da Nang formulate a long-term talent strategy combining local training with international talent acquisition, alongside building an ecosystem linking universities, enterprises, research institutes, and investors to feed high-quality human resources to VIFC-DN over the next 10–20 years. Talent attraction must go together with creating attractive living and working environments to retain top professionals, securing a sustainable competitive advantage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">From a market development perspective, Dr. Tran Quoc Hung, former Deputy Director of the Monetary Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), assessed that VIFC-DN possesses strong conditions to become a pioneer in digital assets and blockchain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">He suggested Da Nang prioritize products like real-world asset tokenization, carbon credit tokenization, infrastructure bonds, digital payments, and financial services serving the Free Trade Zone and East-West Economic Corridor, all sectors with vast growth potential in coming years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Concurring, Professor Pham Hi Duc, Head of the Finance and Quantitative Engineering Department at ECE Paris, added that tokenization opens new markets by fractionalizing assets, widening capital mobilization for infrastructure projects, and increasing investor access. Capitalizing on late-mover advantages to choose a distinct development angle will allow Da Nang to pioneer this field.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Experts also spent time discussing legal frameworks for digital assets, fintech ecosystem development, regulatory sandboxes, green finance growth, carbon credit markets, financial AI integration, and creating competitive investment environments to attract international financial institutions.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>Data-driven governance toward an AI City</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Discussing Da Nang's goals for the new phase, Vice Chairman Ho Quang Buu emphasized going beyond standard digital transformation or smart city definitions, setting a higher goal: becoming an "AI City."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Where local government previously operated based on reports, statistics, and managerial experience, the new model uses data as the baseline for all administrative actions. Every decision is supported by real-time data, analyzed through AI, and visualized to forecast, evaluate, and choose optimal options.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">This philosophy underpins the Da Nang Semiconductor Microchip and Artificial Intelligence Development Scheme for 2026–2030. A key highlight of the scheme is building the infrastructure of a data economy: from data centers, high-performance computing centers, 5G infrastructure, IoT, and open data to an innovation ecosystem and high-quality human resources.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">According to Vice Chairman Ho Quang Buu, Da Nang is shifting from a "defensive" mindset (applying existing tech) to an "offensive" stance (creating new value based on data, AI, and digital technologies). The city targets having the digital economy contribute 35–40% of GRDP by 2030, establishing a data exchange, building a data economy, and turning AI into a core competency for civil servants and citizens alike.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">A smart city is thus measured not merely by the quantity of AI applications, but primarily by its capacity for data-driven governance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">On June 22, 2026, the City People's Committee approved the Pilot Scheme for the Digital Twin. The Digital Twin creates a "living digital replica" of the city that continuously updates multi-sectoral data. On this platform, government can track current events and simulate development scenarios to assess impact before real-world execution. This marks a shift from reactive issue management to proactive data governance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>AI, Digital Twin and Open Data building a smart city</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">In the new governance model, data transitions from a byproduct of management into a new driver of development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">The Digital Twin serves as the operational environment to run simulations and support decision-making. When connected, the city manages more effectively, forecasts better, responds faster, and serves citizens more precisely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">The Semiconductor Microchip and AI Development Scheme centers on data standardization, open data growth, data center and high-performance computing investments, IoT and 5G infrastructure, and commissioning real-world urban management challenges for businesses, universities, and research institutes to solve together.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Vice Chairman Ho Quang Buu noted that AI must permeate all socio-economic activities, serving as a tool to inject knowledge into both public and private sectors. The new growth model - "Capital (Blockchain) + Labor (Robots) + Knowledge (AI)" - provides the momentum to target double-digit GRDP growth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">In Huong Tra Ward, a pilot Digital Twin system was launched, integrating and visualizing land, infrastructure, construction, education, healthcare, and population data on a single digital platform.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">The system enables real-time tracking, analysis, and decision support for leadership while offering a model framework to evaluate and scale the Digital Twin citywide. Concurrently, ward cadres</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">and civil servants were trained in using AI to process files, manage data, and draft documents, progressively instilling data- and AI-driven administrative methods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Alongside Huong Tra, Hoa Cuong Ward spearheaded a comprehensive digital management platform integrating data, operations, and management tools, allowing leaders to track real-time analytics while linking to citywide databases to boost operational efficiency and public service.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Meanwhile, Tam Ky Ward introduced AI into administrative reform via AI Assistants, Zalo Mini Apps, digital maps, and Community Digital Technology Teams. In less than a year, the ward processed over 13,670 applications, achieving an online submission rate of 99.54% with 100% of files resolved on or ahead of time, and assisted over 26,000 citizens with online administrative procedures. These models demonstrate that AI and data are moving beyond strategic concepts into practical tools serving citizens directly at the grassroots level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">To realize these goals, Da Nang continues to address bottlenecks in mechanisms, infrastructure, and human resources; leverage specific mechanisms under Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 and Resolution No. 193/2025/QH15; invest in international-standard data centers, Software Park No. 2, and undersea fiber-optic cables; and expand regulatory sandboxes to attract major tech conglomerates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">"The AI City model by 2030 will serve as a major highlight to attract high-tech capital and international experts to Da Nang," emphasized Vice Chairman Ho Quang Buu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">While digital transformation shifts government operations onto digital platforms, data-driven governance represents a higher stage where data becomes the "soft infrastructure" of the entire urban management apparatus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">This remains the priority strategy chosen by Da Nang to become an AI City: not just a city applying artificial intelligence, but a city operating on data platforms, using service efficiency for citizens as the ruler for every policy decision.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>The appeal of Da Nang's beaches in October</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">As the city wakes up, the beaches along the Hoang Sa - Vo Nguyen Giap - Truong Sa route begin to bustle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Groups of locals and tourists go down to the sea to swim, walk along the sandy shore, exercise, or sit and relax while watching the sunrise. This atmosphere remains present in October, a time when the Central region typically enters the rainy season and experiences volatile weather.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">This year, with favorable weather, early morning sun still dyes Da Nang's beaches gold, creating a warm feeling for visitors amidst gentle waves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">At the swimming areas, foreign tourists blending into the morning daily routine of local residents create a unique feature of Da Nang's beach tourism.</p>

<p style="line-height:30px">Although October is passing, Da Nang's beaches still attract many local residents and tourists to swim, exercise, and watch the sunrise from early morning.</p>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Many people take advantage of the early hours to go into the water before starting their daily schedule; others choose to stroll, exercise on the sand, or admire the sea scenery in an open space.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Although it is no longer the peak season for beach tourism, the number of people present at the beaches in the morning during favorable weather shows that the sea remains a familiar living space for residents and a favorite experience for visitors coming to the city.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">David Miller, 32, from Melbourne (Australia), shared: "I really like Da Nang's beaches because they have beautiful shores, wide sandbanks, and an open space. In the morning, walking on the sand, watching the sunrise, and enjoying the fresh air is a wonderful experience. I am also impressed by the marine landscape and wish to have more time to enjoy this place."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">For many international tourists, morning swimming is not only a relaxing activity but also a way to explore local rhythms. Instead of just visiting famous destinations, they can spend time immersing themselves in the marine space, observing the daily life of residents, and enjoying simple moments during their trip.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Emily Carter, 27, from London (UK), said that going to the beach in the morning is one of her favorite things when visiting Da Nang.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">"The beach is wide and has space for walking, jogging, or sitting to relax. I love the feeling of watching the ocean at the beginning of the day, then returning for breakfast and continuing to explore the city. This is a simple experience but makes the vacation memorable," Emily shared.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Not only international guests, but many domestic tourists also take advantage of the morning time to enjoy the sea before visiting other destinations. Convenience of access, natural landscapes, and the ability to combine relaxation with sports and entertainment activities make the beach an important part of visitors' itineraries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Nguyen Thu Ha, 29, a tourist from Hanoi, said she chose to go swimming early to enjoy the fresh air and avoid the heat of the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">"I like the atmosphere of Da Nang's beach in the morning; it is both airy and features many people exercising, walking, and swimming together. Even though I came in October, the weather was favorable, so I spent time at the beach before starting my sightseeing schedule," Thu Ha shared.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">From swimming and walking to playing sports on the sand, Da Nang's marine space is meeting the rest needs of visitors and the daily lives of residents. This is also an advantage for the city to continue developing beach tourism toward diversified experiences, not focusing solely on the peak summer months.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px"><strong>Upgrading service quality</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">According to Mr. Phan Minh Hai, Deputy Head of the Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourist Beaches, in the first 9 months of 2026, the city served about 15.86 million visitor arrivals at accommodation establishments, an increase of 26.4% compared to the same period last year. Among them, international visitors reached about 7.73 million arrivals, up 28.7%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">This result shows that the appeal of Da Nang tourism continues to be maintained. In particular, the sea is not only a landscape resource but also an experiential space closely linked to urban life, contributing to creating the unique character of the destination.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Mr. Hai said that over the past period, the Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourist Beaches has maintained and refreshed a series of activities within the framework of the Beach Tourism Season Opening program.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">In 2026 alone, the program themed "Bright Summer" includes 19 activities, focusing on beach sports, cuisine, culture, entertainment, and experiential content, contributing to enriching activities at the beaches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Alongside seasonal events, improving service quality is emphasized to meet the needs of residents and visitors year-round. According to the Management Board's orientation, 14 fast-food cart locations and 6 food stalls have been organized for auction, selecting operators, and gradually put into operation along the Hoang Sa - Vo Nguyen Giap - Truong Sa route according to the approved plan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">In 2027 and subsequent phases, the city will continue to implement beach service items, aiming to diversify types of recreation, entertainment, sports, cuisine, cinema, and event organization. Seasonal activities such as check-in spaces, night art, Christmas cultural-entertainment programs, New Year welcomes, and community sports events are also oriented for development to create more experiences for visitors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Along with product diversification, ensuring safety for swimmers is always a consistent requirement. Rescue forces are deployed on regular duty, reinforced in high-risk areas and times, while guiding visitors to comply with safety regulations when participating in water activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">According to the Management Board's data, as of September 2026, the rescue force has handled and safely rescued 41 cases, preventing any deaths from drowning. Security and order maintenance are also sustained through coordination between the Management Board, police forces, and local authorities. In 2026, functional forces detected and handled 10 theft cases involving 11 subjects, supported in finding and returning assets in 73 cases, and assisted 246 cases of lost relatives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Environmental sanitation work continues to be carried out regularly. The Management Board also reviews and improves the quality of amenities serving visitors, while proposing the construction of new public restrooms to gradually better meet needs in densely populated areas.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Mr. Phan Minh Hai added that the unit's orientation is not only to attract large crowds to the beach but also to build a safe, clean, convenient, and experiential marine space. Through this, Da Nang's sea not only serves swimming needs but gradually becomes a cultural, sports, entertainment, and community living space year-round.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">In the coming time, along with continuing to improve service quality, the city will coordinate to implement new products and services according to a roadmap, organizing cultural, artistic, sports, and event activities suitable for each season. Year-end holidays, Christmas, and New Year celebrations are expected to bring more vitality to the marine space, contributing to maintaining appeal even outside the peak season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;;line-height:30px">Combining landscape exploitation with safety assurance, environmental preservation, and service quality enhancement will help residents enjoy the sea every day, thereby creating more reasons for domestic and international tourists to seek out, discover, and return to the city.</p>
