I love it when government create 'dead zones" and they tell the world how they plan to make them vibrant again.  Thailand is really good at that.  Destroy Khao San and then "The rich, well-heeled will come flocking!!!" 
No they will not.  Wake up.

Only $157 per tourist, fairly modest.

 

Da Nang received more than 8.6 million visitors in 2019 and earned revenues of VND31 trillion from tourism.
