🇦🇺🇻🇳 AVTIP FACILITATES DA NANG DELEGATION'S ENGAGEMENT WITH WESTERN SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

On 3 November 2026, Australia Vietnam Trade & Investment Promotion (AVTIP) facilitated connections and accompanied a senior Da Nang delegation, led by Mr Ngo Xuan Thang, Deputy Secretary of the Da Nang Municipal Party Committee, during a visit to Western Sydney International Airport (WSI).

The discussions focused on exploring potential direct air connectivity between Da Nang and Western Sydney.

Key considerations included two-way passenger demand, seasonal travel patterns, airline operational capacity and commercial viability, alongside opportunities for joint destination promotion.

This engagement builds on earlier connections between Da Nang and WSI and follows two recent Da Nang events in Sydney focusing on tourism, technology, education and international partnerships.

Direct air connectivity has the potential to strengthen tourism, trade, investment and people-to-people links between Vietnam and Australia.

AVTIP remains committed to facilitating meaningful engagement between government agencies, aviation stakeholders and businesses to support practical, long-term cooperation.

We welcome connections with aviation, tourism and business partners interested in Australia–Vietnam opportunities.

🇦🇺🇻🇳 DA NANG–AUSTRALIA: FROM TOURISM PROMOTION TO LONG-TERM BUSINESS AND INNOVATION PARTNERSHIPS

Two significant events in Sydney within one week have highlighted Da Nang's growing commitment to strengthening international cooperation with Australia.

On 28 October 2026, Da Nang hosted its Tourism Presentation and Networking Dinner at Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park, showcasing the city's appeal as a popular destination for Australian travellers.

On 2 November 2026, the “Da Nang | Australia Nexus – Advancing International Partnerships” forum at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) expanded the conversation to technology, innovation, education and international collaboration.

The forum brought together Da Nang government leaders, the Consulate General of Vietnam in Sydney, university representatives, experts and business leaders.

Beyond Events: Building Sustainable Partnerships

During the roundtable discussion, AVTIP CEO Harry Tran raised an important question with the Da Nang delegation's leadership:

How can we establish continuous engagement between Da Nang and Australia, rather than limiting cooperation to individual events and official visits?

At AVTIP, we believe this question is central to creating meaningful and lasting international partnerships.

Da Nang's development priorities offer promising opportunities for collaboration with New South Wales (NSW), particularly in:

🔹 International financial centre development and financial services.

🔹 Technology, innovation and digital transformation.

🔹 High-tech workforce development and university–industry partnerships.

🔹 Tourism, aviation connectivity and destination development.

Having supported Da Nang–Australia engagement through tourism roadshows in 2024, familiarisation trips in 2025 and international networking activities in 2026, AVTIP sees strong potential to develop more structured and ongoing connections between the two markets.

Successful international cooperation should not end when an event concludes. It should lead to continued dialogue, practical partnerships and measurable outcomes.

AVTIP looks forward to connecting Australian businesses, universities and institutions with emerging opportunities in Da Nang and across Vietnam.

WHY DO AUSTRALIANS LOVE DA NANG & HOI AN — AND WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM COME BACK? 🇦🇺🇻🇳

Beautiful beaches, delicious Vietnamese food, fascinating history, rich cultural heritage and welcoming local communities.

It's easy to see why Danang FantastiCity and Hoi An have become attractive destinations for Australian travellers.

But here's an interesting question:

What would encourage Australians to stay longer, explore more and return for another holiday?

AVTIP was delighted to attend the recent Da Nang tourism promotion event in Sydney, bringing together tourism representatives and industry partners from Vietnam and Australia.

We sincerely thank the Da Nang tourism authorities for the invitation and continued partnership.

It was a pleasure to meet Ms Nguyen Thi Hoai An, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Nguyen Thanh Tung the Consulate General of Vietnam in Sydney, and many friends and industry partners.

We also enjoyed reconnecting with travel professionals from TravelManagers, Travel Associates, Klook, Everything Travel and REPS Unlimited etc.

Our connection with Da Nang tourism has continued to grow:

🇻🇳 2024: Supporting Da Nang tourism roadshows in Sydney and Melbourne.

🇻🇳 2025: Bringing Australian travel professionals to Da Nang on a familiarisation trip.

🇻🇳 2026: Reconnecting with tourism partners in Sydney to explore further opportunities.

Through these activities, we continue to see exciting potential for Australian visitors to discover more of Central Vietnam.

From beach resorts and world-class golf courses to local food tours, heritage experiences and hidden gems, Da Nang and Hoi An have so much to offer.

NOW WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! 💬

Have you visited Da Nang or Hoi An?

What did you love most? And what experiences would make you want to return?

Perhaps a cooking class with local families, a countryside cycling adventure, a wellness retreat, a golf holiday, or something completely different?

Share your favourite experiences and recommendations in the comments!

Your ideas could inspire future travel experiences and help strengthen tourism connections between Australia and Vietnam.

FROM HO CHI MINH CITY TO SYDNEY

Vietnamese engineering and manufacturing capabilities are making their mark on major projects at home and overseas.

The recent successful steel arch installation on Ho Chi Minh City's Saigon River pedestrian bridge is another significant milestone for Dai Dung Corporation.

In Australia, Dai Dung has also contributed to the structural steel works of Powerhouse Parramatta, one of Western Sydney's most important new cultural landmarks, officially opening on 7 November 2026.

Earlier this September, AVTIP brought an Australian business delegation to Dai Dung's headquarters in Ho Chi Minh City to explore opportunities in manufacturing, construction and industrial cooperation.

Now the conversation continues in Sydney.

With Dai Dung's leadership visiting Australia in early November, AVTIP is inviting Australian developers, construction companies, contractors and infrastructure stakeholders to explore potential partnerships.

Whether you are developing commercial buildings, major infrastructure, industrial facilities or looking to strengthen your structural steel supply chain, this is an opportunity to engage directly with an established international manufacturer.

BUILDING STRONGER VIETNAMESE BUSINESSES IN AUSTRALIA: FIVE CHALLENGES THAT MATTER

Australia offers significant opportunities for Vietnamese businesses seeking international expansion. However, establishing a sustainable presence requires more than identifying market potential.

At a business dialogue hosted by the Consulate General of Vietnam in Sydney on 23 October 2026, Vietnamese entrepreneurs and business leaders discussed practical challenges affecting business growth in Australia.

Five key issues emerged:

1. Business culture and local networks

Understanding the Australian business environment and developing relationships with government agencies, industry associations and local business communities.

2. Market positioning

Identifying viable niche markets and building competitive advantages suited to Australian customer needs.

3. Long-term access to capital

Securing the financial resources needed to support sustainable business development.

4. Knowledge sharing

Creating more opportunities for experienced entrepreneurs to share practical lessons with businesses entering the Australian market.

5. Regular business engagement

Establishing consistent forums that encourage collaboration, partnerships and mutual support.

These discussions highlight an important reality: successful international expansion depends on market knowledge, trusted relationships and a long-term strategy.

At Australia Vietnam Trade & Investment Promotion (AVTIP), we recognise the value of stronger business networks in helping companies navigate cross-border opportunities.

We welcome collaboration with Australian businesses, industry associations and organisations interested in strengthening economic engagement with Vietnam and supporting Vietnamese enterprises in Australia.
