Employee trips to Da Nang: planning 5 days 4 nights, where to stay, and visas
If you only take your company to Vietnam once, iTour's top pick is Da Nang (Đà Nẵng). The reason is simple: it's a well-developed city with a beautiful coastline, two World Heritage Sites nearby, and great cafés, bars and restaurants. It's the place where people "start falling in love with Vietnam." This post includes a 5-day, 4-night itinerary iTour actually runs, to give you a concrete idea of what a trip looks like.
- Best for: all-round company trips that want "city vibes, shopping, culture and the sea." If you just want sun and a family-friendly beach, see Phu Quoc.
- Length: most company trips are 5 days 4 nights (direct flights from Taoyuan to Da Nang).
- Three highlights: Ba Na Hills with an all-in-one ticket (one of the world's longest cable cars, the Golden Bridge, the French Village, the theme park), Hoi An Ancient Town (World Heritage Site, lanterns at night) and My Khe Beach.
- Recommended hotels: Naman Retreat Resort, Radisson Hotel Danang, Grand Mercure, Centre Point (depending on group size and room types).
- Visa: Da Nang is on Vietnam's mainland, so Taiwan passport holders need a Vietnam e-Visa; the whole group can add airport fast track.
Why is Da Nang the top choice for an employee trip to Vietnam?
Comparing a few directions in Vietnam:
- Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay): history and an overnight cruise; slower-paced, better suited to older travelers.
- Phu Quoc: pure beach holiday, family-friendly, few cultural sights.
- Da Nang: all-round and steady. Climb Ba Na Hills or explore Hoi An Ancient Town by day, head back to the beach in the late afternoon, and find cafés, bars and restaurants in town at night. The itinerary has layers, and there's something for every age group, which also makes it the easiest place for colleagues visiting Vietnam for the first time to leave with a great impression.

Where to stay on a Da Nang employee trip
Da Nang's resorts are mostly along My Khe Beach and the coastline, with easy drives into the city and to Hoi An. The levels iTour often arranges:
- Naman Retreat Resort: a resort of bamboo architecture surrounded by greenery, ideal for groups that want "the stay itself" to be a highlight.
- Radisson Hotel Danang: an international beachfront chain hotel with plenty of rooms and good flow, ideal for groups of a hundred or more.
- Grand Mercure, Centre Point Danang: close to the Han River and the city center, convenient for going out to eat and drink at night.
How to handle visas and the airport for Da Nang
Da Nang is on Vietnam's mainland, so Taiwan passport holders must have a Vietnam e-Visa (Phu Quoc's "visa-free if you only visit the island" doesn't apply). The whole group prepares and submits documents together; iTour fills in the forms, submits them and tracks progress, and if time is short, we speed things up with an urgent e-Visa.
What groups of a hundred people fear most is getting stuck at the airport. iTour can arrange Vietnam airport Priority / VIP Fast Track: ground staff meet the group with a sign before immigration and take them through a dedicated route, for both arrival and departure, turning "an hour in the queue" into "just follow us through."
Da Nang company trips: FAQ
How many days is right for Da Nang?
5 days 4 nights is the norm. If you want to add Ho Chi Minh City, we plan a two-part trip of 6–7 days.
Is one day enough for Ba Na Hills?
Yes, but it's a full day. The cable car, theme park, Golden Bridge and wine cellar take most of the day; go up early to avoid the crowds.
Should Hoi An be in the evening?
We recommend arriving in the late afternoon and staying until dark. Hoi An's lanterns and floating river lights are best after dark, while daytime is better for exploring the old town and taking photos.
Is Da Nang good for an evening event or themed night?
Yes. The lawns and poolsides of beachfront resorts can be booked for a beach party or farewell dinner, and iTour can design the decoration and program as well; see themed event design.
What if the visa isn't ready in time?
iTour offers urgent e-Visa and visa expediting, as fast as 4 hours before departure. The whole group is submitted at once, so nobody has to worry about their own application.
