Da Nang is witnessing a powerful shift toward green transportation in the tourism sector. Over the past 24 hours, a series of latest updates have recorded a boom in electric motorbike rental services, particularly the new generation of electric motorbikes applying rapid battery-swapping technology, offering outstanding convenience for tourists.
Recorded at famous destinations such as Son Tra Peninsula, Ngu Hanh Son (Marble Mountains), and along My Khe Beach, the number of tourists choosing electric motorbikes as their primary mode of transportation has grown by over 35% compared to last week. The trend of eco-friendly self-guided travel is driving tourists to seek zero-emission, noise-free travel solutions to fully enjoy the fresh air of the coastal city.
The most prominent news of the day is the expansion of the rapid battery-swapping network announced by major electric vehicle enterprises (such as Selex Motors and VinFast's rental partners) at prime locations across the city. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists renting electric motorbikes can now swap a fully charged battery in less than 2 minutes at convenience stores and gas stations along major tourist routes like Vo Nguyen Giap, Bach Dang, and Nguyen Van Linh. This completely eliminates the anxiety of running out of power while climbing Son Tra Peninsula or traveling to Hoi An.
To stimulate green tourism, major electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang have simultaneously launched massive promotion packages in the last 24 hours. Specifically, the 'Green Summer Da Nang' program offers an immediate 25% discount on rental rates for bookings made via websites or mobile apps, valid until the end of the month. Rental prices range from only 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND per day depending on the model, featuring a free travel insurance package, a smart digital tourist map, and free delivery within a 5km radius.
The digitalization of electric motorbike rental services is reshaping how tourists travel. Travelers no longer need cumbersome paperwork. With just a smartphone, users can scan a QR code to unlock the vehicle, track real-time battery capacity, access GPS anti-theft tracking, and locate the nearest battery-swapping station seamlessly through dedicated apps. This extreme convenience is attracting a large number of young travelers and international tourists.
The People's Committee of Da Nang City has just announced policies encouraging green transport infrastructure development at key tourist destinations. Accordingly, the city will prioritize dedicating free or discounted parking spaces specifically for electric motorbikes at areas such as Linh Ung Pagoda, Asia Park, and public beaches. This regulatory leverage is extremely crucial in helping rental businesses confidently invest, scale up, and enhance service quality to serve tourists.
