For years, the Indian outbound market has been dominated by a few “standard” destinations. However, 2024-2025 has signaled a massive shift. Data shows that Vietnam, specifically Da Nang, has seen a 300% surge in interest from Indian planners compared to 2019. But what is driving this exodus toward the Central Coast of Vietnam?
1. The “Distance-to-Luxury” Ratio With direct flights now connecting major Indian hubs like Ahmedabad and Mumbai to Da Nang in under 5 hours, the “travel fatigue” factor has been eliminated. More importantly, Da Nang offers a 25% better value proposition for 5-star inventory compared to traditional hubs like Bali, allowing agencies to offer more luxury for the same budget.
2. Cultural Synergy & “Iconic” Appeal Indian travelers don’t just visit; they capture experiences. The Sun World Ba Na Hills, with its world-famous Golden Bridge, has become the #1 most-requested photo spot for Indian groups in Southeast Asia. This “social currency” is a powerful tool for agents to close sales.
3. The Mastery of Indian-Jain Logistics The biggest risk in a large-scale Indian operation is the kitchen. Da Nang has responded to this by building a sophisticated ecosystem of Indian culinary experts. At Anvui De Voyage, we don’t just book “Indian-friendly” hotels; we partner with properties that allow our specialized Indian chefs to oversee the kitchens, ensuring that every meal—from a 300-pax Jain buffet to a grand Sangeet dinner—meets the authentic taste of home.
4. MICE Infrastructure built for Grandeur Whether it’s a gala dinner in a limestone cave at Marble Mountains or a massive ballroom event in a beachfront resort, Da Nang offers the scale that Indian corporate groups demand. We have successfully managed movements of 200+ guests where timing, logistics, and prestige were non-negotiable.
The Verdict for 2026: Da Nang is no longer an alternative; it is the primary choice. The question is: Is your local partner capable of managing the scale?
