Da Nang (VNA) – The Da Nang People’s Committee has approved a plan to expand water-based recrea꧂tional activities along its inshore areas and the Han River as part of efforts to leverage marine and river tourism 🌱potential.
The plan covers motorised and non-motorised water sports such as jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides, paddleboarding, kayaking, and windsurfing. All activities must comply with safety, technical, and environmental standards.
Designated zones include the 15.3km coastal stretch along Hoang Sa – Vo Nguyen Giap – Truong Sa streets, a 5.7km section along Nguyen Tat Thanh street, the waters near Hai Van Pass, and Son Tra Peninsula. On the Han River, a 2km area from Han River Bridge to Tran Thi Ly Bridge will host water recreational activities.
Businesses and individuals involved must ensure public safety, security, and environmental hygiene.
The plan will be implemented from 2025 to 2030, with adjustments based on demand and regulatory changes.
