VietNamNet Bridge – This central city's Culture, Sport and Tourism Department has launched its latest online tourism information portal following an eight-month trial period to further boost its tourism industry.

On the debut of www.tourism.danang.vn, the department said the portal would enable tourists to quickly get online information on bookings at restaurants and hotels as well as pricing and itineraries of tours to choice destinations in the city and world heritage sites in the central region.

The English-Vietnamese website has also been building its Japanese, Russian and Korean language editions.

The department has also co-operated with the Military Telecommunications Group, Viettel, in offering SMS Welcome service for travel and tour agencies and tourism information and promotion programmes.

The city has opened two tourism information centres at Da Nang International Airport's national arrival terminal that provide free maps, brochures and information on hotels and travel and tour agencies.
