On February 5th-7th at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, Da Nang actively participated in the OTM 2026, the largest travel trade fair in India, promoting the city’s business events and tourism industries. As a city of heritage, culture, and nature, Da Nang expanded its marketing in India to niche tourism segments, particularly in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and wedding tourism.

Da Nang’s active engagement at the OTM event as India continues to become one of the world’s largest and fastest sources of international travelers will significantly enhance its long-term tourism partnerships with India and will foster opportunities for sustainable tourism and development.

A Strategic Focus on MICE and Wedding Tourism Models

At OTM 2026, Da Nang emphasized its strong positioning under the theme “Returning to the Original,” which focuses on offering immersive experiences in natural settings, heritage sites, and local cultural life. These experiences are tailored specifically to the needs and preferences of Indian tourists, especially in the fields of wedding tourism and MICE events.

Da Nang’s tourism booth, covering 36 square meters, welcomed six of the city’s leading tourism businesses, showcasing a flexible product range that can accommodate Indian clients’ tastes, cultural rituals, and event requirements. This strategic participation at OTM 2026 highlights Da Nang’s commitment to market development, fostering direct connections with travel partners, event organizers, and wedding tourism companies in India.

Expanding Da Nang’s Presence in India’s Thriving Tourism Market

According to the Indian Ministry of Tourism’s Annual Report 2025, Vietnam has emerged as one of the fastest-growing international destinations for Indian tourists, with visitor numbers increasing nearly 4.5 times compared to 2019. This growth aligns with Da Nang’s proactive approach to marketing and positioning itself as a premier tourism destination in the region.

Through storytelling around destination identity and unique experiences, Da Nang introduced an extensive ecosystem of MICE and wedding tourism products that blend cultural elements, heritage, traditional performing arts, and local cuisine. This cultural richness is a cornerstone of Da Nang’s tourism offerings and positions the city as a hub for both leisure and business events.

Building Stronger Connections for Sustainable Tourism Growth

Da Nang’s participation at OTM Mumbai 2026 is not only about enhancing its tourism brand in India but also fostering vital collaborations. The event serves as an important platform for connecting with airlines and travel service providers, with direct flight routes from New Delhi and Mumbai to Da Nang being a key discussion point. The potential for direct connectivity between the two countries is critical for increasing Indian tourist arrivals and fostering long-term tourism growth in the city.

One of the highlights at the event was the presentation of Da Nang’s OCOP (One Commune One Product) products, which showcase local handicrafts and traditional goods. These products add an authentic touch to the city’s tourism offerings, aligning with Vietnam’s focus on preserving cultural heritage while simultaneously boosting local economies.

Future Impact: A Sustainable Tourism Partnership Between Da Nang and India

Looking forward, the impact of Da Nang’s proactive efforts at OTM 2026 will extend well beyond the immediate event. By building stronger ties with Indian travel partners and highlighting its unique tourism offerings, Da Nang is positioning itself to become a leading destination for both MICE tourism and wedding tourism for Indian visitors. As more Indian travelers seek unique and culturally rich destinations, Da Nang’s sustainable tourism growth will play a key role in increasing long-term visitation, improving destination awareness, and fostering economic development in the region.

Moreover, as direct flight routes from major Indian cities to Da Nang come to fruition, the connectivity between the two countries will improve, making travel more accessible and affordable. This will further fuel tourism growth and cultural exchange, ensuring that Da Nang continues to thrive as a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia for Indian travelers in the years to come.

Da Nang Poised for Greater Tourism Growth in India

Da Nang’s participation in the OTM 2026 is a major first step in consolidating its ties with the Indian tourism market. Da Nang’s positioning as a major Indian tourist destination is easy given MICE tourism, Indian weddings, and the Indian cultural proximity. Da Nang is building its reputation by marketing culturally rich, adaptable, and flexible tourism products, improving the visibility of Indian business partnerships and collaborations.

As Da Nang strengthens its position within the Indian tourism ecosystem, the city will benefit from new travel collaborations, increased destination familiarity, and additional tourism flight routes. These will aid the city’s tourism ecosystem in the years to come by improving destination familiarity.
