DIFF 2024 will consist of five competition nights, including four qualifying nights and one final night. The opening night is scheduled for the evening of June 8th, with subsequent fireworks nights held every Saturday in the following weeks (with a one-week break before the final night). The DIFF 2024 final night is expected to take place on July 13th.
In each competition night, teams will have 20 minutes to showcase fireworks displays based on the theme of each night, as agreed upon by the organizing committee.
The Da Nang People’s Committee stated that the overall theme of DIFF 2024 is still under consideration, but city leaders emphasize that DIFF 2024 will convey a message of a peaceful, just, harmonious, and humane society.
DIFF was first organized in 2008, and 2024 will mark the 12th year of DIFF being held in Da Nang. The previous edition, DIFF 2023, significantly boosted tourism in Da Nang after the challenges posed by Covid-19.
During the first six months of 2023, the total number of guests served by accommodations in Da Nang reached over 3.5 million, a 116.6% increase compared to the same period in 2022. Among them, international guests numbered 930,000, a remarkable 11.3 times higher than the same period, while domestic guests were nearly 2.6 million, a 67.7% increase.
Throughout the DIFF event, the number of flights to Da Nang International Airport reached up to 150 flights per day, 1.5 times higher than usual. The city’s room capacity reached about 70%, with 4-5 star hotels achieving 80-85% occupancy.
