VTV.vn - Cua Dai Beach, the seaside area of Hoi An Old Town, is a major draw for international tourists. However, it is being wiped out by ocean waves at an alarming rate.

The beach has seen relentless and devastating coastal erosion since October last year, with the damage now spiraling out of control. Protecting the beach is high on the agenda of the local authorities.

Experts cited land reclamation as one of the main causes of Hoi An's coastal erosion. For almost 10 years experts warned about the erosion problem, but no solutions have yet been found./.
