Danang prepares for world's longest yacht race

The Clipper Race, including a Danang-Vietnam team, arrived in Danang shortly after the lunar new year. A first-time Host Port and Team Sponsor of the Clipper Race, the city of Danang is using its partnership as an opportunity to boost trade, investment and tourism, along with improving its social and diplomatic relations.

Before arriving in Danang, the Clipper Race has already visited London, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Albany, Sydney and the Whitsundays in Australia. Danang is the first South East Asian stopover on the Clipper 2015-16 Race circuit.
