Trial paragliding tours will run from October 12 to November 1 and will be operated by Fly High Vietnam Company in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Paragliding Federation.

According to Nguyen Tien Hai, deputy director of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Lam Dong Province, after the trial, paragliding tours will be introduced as a brand-new travel service at the Da Lat Flower Festival in 2022 as part of the efforts to boost regional tourism.

The Lam Dong Province Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism is still awaiting the completion of the licensing process.

The tour operators have not yet made any announcements on operating capacity or costs.

Ngo Anh Tuan, director of Dalat Discovery Travel and a tour distributor who took part in a test flight, claimed the journey around Xuan Huong Lake was smooth and trouble-free.

“According to the plan, we will offer paragliding tours to visitors during the upcoming Da Lat Flower Festival,” Tuan stated.
