Accordingly, in the first 6 months of 2014, although the situation in the East Sea was affected (the number of flights and ships canceled increased significantly, causing a significant decrease in the number of inbound and outbound passengers in May and June 2014), in general compared to 2013. , the number of passengers entering and leaving the country by sea and by air through 2 border gates: Da Nang International Airport and Da Nang Port both increased by 68%.

The city's special feature is that the airport is located in the center, traffic is quite convenient and there is little traffic shutdown, causing subjective psychology for visitors.

Therefore, the propaganda, advocacy and selection of suitable businesses, eligible to participate in tax refund sales are prioritized for consideration and are the common responsibility of all units.

The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will be responsible for propagating participating businesses and directing travel agencies to guide and introduce to each international customer tax refund sales locations. The representative of the City Tax Department also ensures that he will pay attention to the propaganda and advocacy work and take responsibility for guiding businesses in the procedures related to tax operations and tax refund. In addition, the representative of Military Bank, Da Nang branch, also pledged to create favorable conditions for lending to businesses that need capital to participate in expanding production and business, selling tax refunds and asking the city to pay taxes. It is necessary to have a policy to promote businesses participating in tax refund sales.

Up to the present time, almost all agencies involved in the implementation of the VAT refund policy for foreigners on exit at 2 international border gates in Ho Chi Minh City. Da Nang is ready. Propaganda to mobilize enterprises to participate will be promoted in the near future so that Circular 72/2014/TT-BTC can quickly come into practice.​
