In the afternoon of June 1st, 2016, within the framework of the 40th anniversary of Vietnam – Thailand official relationship (6/8/1976 - 6/8/2016), Danang Investment Promotion Center (IPC Danang) coordinated with Danang Union of Friendship Organizations, Vietnam – Thailand Friendship Association in Danang and Han Shopping Mall – Centre Hotel organized the Seminar on "Business and investment opportunities in Danang". More than 25 businesses from Thailand, Thai representative offices and representatives from the city departments and business associations participated in the Seminar.
In the Seminar, leaders of IPC Danang, Danang Transportation Association and Vitours Company briefly introduced business and investment opportunities in such fields as logistics, tourism and services in Danang. Thai businesses raised various questions regarding goods transportation along EWEC and related procedures, and investments in such projects as restaurants, commercial centers, and beauty services in the city. Most participants agreed that the city should seriously consider opening the Danang – Chiengmai direct flight route and strongly promote Danang City to Thai investors in big cities such as Bangkok, Chiengmai and Khon Kaen to strengthen the trade and tourism relationships between Danang and Thailand.
In recent years, the cooperative and friendly relationship between Danang and cities in Thailand has achieved many accomplishments, especially in trade, investment and tourism.

In 2015, the Danang – Thailand export turnover was estimated at USD 1.2 million, and import turnover was estimated at USD 30 million.
