The tournament took place on July 29 and 30 with the participation of 120 pilots from 17 paragliding clubs nationwide. In addition, paragliding teams from Laos and Thailand also participated in the powered paragliding performance. The athletes competed in two events: precision landing for non-powered paragliders and powered paragliding performance.
With its natural advantages, Da Nang is chosen and highly appreciated by paragliding athletes.
This is an annual tournament with an increasing number of athletes participating. In 2014, the first time Da Nang city organized it, only 40 athletes participated. By 2019, the number of athletes doubled and in 2020, 100 pilots participated.
Currently, the demand for paragliding in Da Nang is quite developed. In addition to paragliding clubs attracting people who love this sport to participate in playing and participating in activities. Since the end of May 2023, 4 businesses in the city have been granted paragliding business licenses. These businesses have instructors with flight licenses, directly supporting tourists who want to experience.
Mr. Pham Van Nghien, a member of Kinh Bac Paragliding Club, Bac Ninh province, hopes that paragliding activities will develop more and more: “Da Nang is one of the great places to fly. I have been to a few places, but nowhere is as beautiful as Da Nang. The landing strip here is very long, so even inexperienced pilots can land,” Mr. Nghien commented.
