With a business community of 23,500 enterprises and a city development strategy for 2025-2035 focused on innovation-driven growth, the Sydney city government welcomes opportunities for cooperation with Da Nang enterprises to achieve mutual goals in investment and tourism growth.
"We would like to introduce to Australian partners the eco-urban area model that harmoniously combines research-development, training, and high-tech production with superior incentives on land rent, corporate income tax, import-export tax. This is one of three multifunctional national high-tech parks in Vietnam," said Mr. Nguyen Cong Tien, Standing Deputy Head of Da Nang High-Tech Park and Industrial Zones Management Board at the seminar.
Ms. Truong Thi Hong Hanh, Director of Da Nang City's Department of Tourism, introduced Da Nang's tourism potential, highlighting products favored by Australian tourists such as beach resorts, local cultural experiences, golf tourism, festival event tourism, entertainment, cuisine, and the "Central Heritage Journey" program connecting Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam. Within the program's framework, the tourism sectors of these three localities signed a cooperation agreement with Western Sydney Tourism Association focusing on providing tourism information, coordinating promotional activities, connecting business cooperation for mutual development between enterprises from both sides and enhancing visitor exchange between Central Vietnam destinations and Australian cities.
