Ltd - the festival organiser, said he hopes the development of paragliding in particular and adventure sports in general will help diversify high-end tourism products in Nha Trang, thus attracting new travellers and providing fresh experiences for existing ones.
Besides, the festival was also a chance for Nha Trang and Khanh Hoa to get established in the “paragliding map” of Vietnam and the world, he noted.
The three-day event featured competitions along with powered and non-powered paragliding with the participation of about 100 pilots from clubs across Vietnam.
Tourists could also register to try paragliding with pilots, an opportunity for them to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the beauty of Nha Trang.
