This year’s sea festival from June 8 to 11 in Nha Trang City and Khanh Vinh and Ninh Hoa districts will consists of 65 activities.
The information was unveiled by the People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa Province in HCMC last Saturday.
Tourists to the locality will have a chance to join in some interesting events like fishing at night, beach volleyball, bicycle race, draught beer and wine festivals, disco carnival on the beach, flower arranging/traditional cake making contest, and art kite flying.
One of the highlights of the festival is the International Sea Travel Expo (ISTE 2013) scheduled from June 6-8 at Diamond Bay Amphitheater with the theme “Sea, Islands and Tourism Development.” The expo is the perfect opportunity to promote Vietnam’s sea and island tourism and Khanh Hoa’s tourism sector to international tourists and to draw foreign investment.
It is expected that the expo will have 160 local and foreign booths and around 80 potential buyers coming to Khanh Hoa Province to meet partners and to gain more knowledge on local tourism products.
The festival has an opening ceremony, street carnival and the final round of Miss Vietnam’s Sea 2013 contest which will be broadcasted live on VTV and HTV channels. Some art troupes from Japan, the U.S. and Russia will take part in the event.
The organizer has launched the website www.nhatrangfestival.vn to update new information to tourists.
