Đà Nẵng — The city’s Department of Tourism officially launched a mobile phone software application, Danang FantastiCity, to help plan tours and find tourist information in Vietnamese and English.
Deputy director of the department Nguyễn Xuân Bình said at a press conference yesterday that the app and its website www.tourism.danang.vn, would help tourists explore services and destinations, find accommodations in connection with social networking platforms – Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube where wireless or 3G service are not available.
The department plans to update the Chinese, Korean and Japanese versions of the city’s tourism website in 2017.
Tourists can connect to Facebook Live Chat on the fanpage of FantastiCity to get advice or support from the department’s tourism desk.
According to the city’s tourism promotion centre, the Danang FantastiCity fanpage has attracted over 10,000 followers since 2014.
The centre also plans to promote tourism information on favourite social network in China (Weibo, Ozone, Wechat), Japan (Mixi, Line, Twitter) and South Korea (Naver Instagram, Kakaotalk, Cyword) – the three top tourism markets of the central coastal city.
In October, Đà Nẵng and the Japanese software company Digital Ship also launched a Japanese-English website called "Happy Đà Nẵng" aimed at boosting Japanese tourism to central Việt Nam. — VNS
