In 2020, the city’s tourism sector was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and it failed to meet its goal of serving 7.8 million visitors, including over 580,000 international tourists.
Only 4 million vacationers, including 120,000 foreigners, visited Da Lat last year, down 44 percent from 2019.
The city saw the arrival of around 70,000 holiday-makers during the three-day New Year 2021 holiday, signalling positive signs for the city’s tourism sector in the coming year.
Lam Dong province now has more than 2,540 accommodation facilities with over 29,400 rooms, 47 travel companies and transport providers.
