What happened
Large foreign tour groups are canceling trips to Đà Nẵng due to concerns about storms and floods. Nguyễn Thị Thu Phương, deputy director of Đà Nẵng’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, noted that international travel markets now associate the city with severe weather during this time of year. This association grew stronger after the former Quảng Nam Province, which included Hội An, merged into Đà Nẵng City last year.

Why it matters
The association between Đà Nẵng and severe weather is undermining the city’s efforts to market itself to tourists. While some officials attribute the dip in visitor numbers to seasonal weather patterns in Hội An, the reputation damage affects the city's tourism promotion efforts.
