Da Nang City ranks 7th among the world’s 10 trending travel destinations for 2027, according to travel search platform Skyscanner, with flight searches increasing by 68% year-on-year.
On October 2, the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, under the city’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, announced that Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2027 report had recognized Da Nang as the only destination from Vietnam and Southeast Asia featured in its Top 10 Trending Destinations for 2027, released in the UK market.
Within the Top 10, Da Nang ranks 7th, alongside destinations such as Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Hurghada (Egypt), Malmö (Sweden), Trapani (Italy), Samos (Greece), and Chongqing (China).
My Khe Beach and the Golden Bridge Drive Da Nang’s Appeal
According to Skyscanner, the ranking is based on the year-on-year increase in return flight searches between January 1 and June 17, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, combined with an assessment of each destination’s appeal to travelers.
With a 68% increase, Da Nang demonstrates its growing appeal in the international travel market.
Notably, this figure reflects an increase in flight searches, rather than actual visitor arrivals to the city.
In its destination feature, Skyscanner highlights signature experiences in Da Nang, including a morning swim at My Khe Beach, a visit to the Golden Bridge, and enjoying seafood amid the enchanting glow of lanterns.
The image of the Golden Bridge at Sun World Ba Na Hills was also selected by Skyscanner to illustrate the Da Nang destination feature.
