While the tourism industry of many countries in the world and many localities in the country are greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of tourists choosing Da Lat for their destination on New Year is remarkable and is expected to open prospects for the city’s tourism industry in 2021.

In 2020, Da Lat welcomed four million tourists; down 44% compared to 2019. Of which, over-night visitors were more than 3.6 million, down 24.7%.

It is forecast that by 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic may still be complicated; the local tourism industry focuses on attracting domestic tourists, with many programs linking tours, stimulating tourism demand during the tourist season and holidays. It aims to welcome more than 4 million visitors this year./.
