On the morning of June 6, as part of the series of activities under “Lang Co - World Beautiful Bay 2026”, a sailing performance on the Bay’s waters was held for the first time.
Lang Co Bay is blessed with extraordinary natural beauty, where the blue sea, lagoons, mountains, forests, and the unique cultural values of the Central region come together in harmony. Alongside preserving its natural landscape, local authorities have consistently emphasized the need to continually innovate tourism products and create more attractive experiences to attract visitors. With this vision in mind, the sailing performance on Lang Co Bay was organized to introduce a new tourism offering that combines water sports, nature-based experiences, and destination promotion.
The sight of 20 sailboats gliding across the crystal-clear waters not only created a unique and captivating spectacle but also symbolized the spirit of conquering the sea, the harmony between people and nature, and Lang Co’s aspiration to reach further horizons. This marks the first time such an activity is held in Lang Co, and represents one of the new steps toward better leveraging its maritime and natural landscape advantages.

Organizing events at renowned destinations such as Lang Co Bay, including the sailing performance, not only helps promote the destinations’ images, but also creates momentum for the development of the tourism economy in a green and sustainable direction.”
