Budget customers are forced to follow the itinerary provided by the agencies and the electronic payment method diminished the chance of profit or even a good earning for the local vendors leaving no profit for Da Nang City.
Apart from this issue, the budget tours are growing enormously and showing interest to capitalize on the city’s admiration but avoiding paying tax to the local authorities.
The Director of the Municipal Department of Tourism Mr. Ngo Quang Vinh said that budget tours are not a right thought for Da Nang as per data that shows the negative impact on local markets as it makes up 30% of the total tourism market of the province and also impacting the neighboring countries such as Thailand and Cambodia.
