An international paragliding tournament will be held in Lac Son district of the northern mountain province of Hoa Binh from November 16-18.
The event will see the participation of 30 paragliders representing clubs from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, for Vietnam, and those from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore.
Paragliding was introduced in Vietnam over a decade ago. Currently, the nation has about 200 paragliders.
The tournament is expected to provide a good opportunity for Vietnamese paragliders to practice and gain valuable experience at an international level.
The international paragliding tournament, the first of its kind, is being organised by the General Department of Sports and Physical Training in co-ordination with the Hanoi Paragliding Club and Hoa Binh’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism./.
