- Hong Kong - Nha Trang Yacht Race 2017 departs in Hong Kong on October 18. The race is joined by 14 yachts with 170 sailors from Australia, Hong Kong, China, Italy, Russian, Singapore, etc.
The yachts are 10 meters - 30 meters long, equipped with modern communication devices.
- How does the yacht race mean to marketing for Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa tourism?
- This is the seventh time the Hong Kong – Nha Trang yacht race has been organized. During the past 14 years, the biennial tournament has partly introduced Nha Trang’s tourism and attracted more visitors to the city. The yacht race has also made Nha Trang to become a place for sea sports and tourism at regional and international stature. Also from this event, Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa has introduced its business opportunities as many racers are investors.
- What’s new in the yacht race this year?
- Under the permission of Khanh Hoa People’s Committee and the Government Office, the race this year is organized better and more professionally. The new feature is the better welcome given to racer at finish in Nha Trang. In previous years, yachts were anchored on the water by Hon Tre Island and sailors were carried to land by canoe. Now, the yachts can land at Ana Marina. This facilitates racer welcome, their traveling and the press’ work.
