As a resident reporter of Southeast Asia Magazine in Da Nang, over the past decades, journalist Tran Ngoc has preserved countless images and documents about tourism in the city.

Since Da Nang welcomed tourists for the first time

2001 - a memorable milestone for the Vietnamese tourism industry, for Da Nang City when the government allowed a number of international airports (in the country) with sufficient technical infrastructure, to receive flights under the tourism program, combined with learning about investment and business opportunities, and traveling around the world by plane by successful and famous businessmen and entrepreneurs of Switzerland, Germany, and France.

At 16:35 on the afternoon of March 13, 2001, flight MD-11 Swissair (Switzerland Airlines), departing from Adelaide Airport (Australia) landed at Da Nang International Airport.

The first flight bringing 250 tourists, mostly successful and famous businessmen and entrepreneurs from Switzerland, Germany and France to Da Nang, has been officially confirmed since 2001," journalist Tran Ngoc reiterated and shared.

Also on the afternoon of March 13, 2001, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Long, then Vice Chairman of the Da Nang City People's Committee, went directly to the aircraft stairs to pick up and present flowers to passengers.

He shared more about the location chosen as a place to stay for the group: At that time, luxury guests were brought to furama resort. At that time, the number of " enough" hotels to welcome upper class guests could be counted on the fingers".

Steps to turn Da Nang into a tourist city

From this "special" customer segment, in 2003, Da Nang City began to adjust the exhibition space of the Cham Sculpture Art Museum.

"It can be said that this is the first adjustment after the division of Da Nang - Quang Nam. European visitors love to experience the ancient Champa civilization. When the opportunity arises, Da Nang must please customers, Mr. Ngoc recounted.

When mentioning Da Nang tourism, people often think of unique bridges, straight roads, new architecture on both sides, tourism infrastructure; beaches with white sand or modern coastal resorts. But that is the image of today.

As for journalist Tran Ngoc, with his emotions, he has quietly recorded the beauty of the wild first days of the city.

Many of his paintings have become original - not everyone can take them, because it requires not only technique, but also patience, sophistication and acumen of a person who has deeply understood this land.

For photos, the golden moment is in constant movement. The press photography language always requires timeliness, so you should hunt for photos as well as news, don't forget that when pressing the camera, you try to maintain the most authenticity about objective reality. Sometimes we have to analyze, evaluate, and be sensitive to fluctuations and changes. According to the historical documents of the press photo, it is located here, he confided.

Up to now, despite spending more than three decades working as a journalist, journalist Tran Ngoc has maintained his passion for the profession. His footsteps are still tireless on every road of Da Nang, still brightly lit when talking about his career, talking about his career journey.
