Vietnam to host fleet in South East Asia
21 July 2015
We are very pleased to reveal that agreement has been reached with the Vietnamese city of Đà Nẵng to be the South East Asia host city for the forthcoming edition.
Đà Nẵng’s debut is the first time Vietnam has participated in the Clipper Race and the city aims to benefit from the high profile global marketing platform the race creates: boosting international trade, investment, economic impact and tourism, together with enhanced social, cultural and diplomatic relations.
Đà Nẵng has acquired the hosting rights and will, in addition, have a team entry named after the city which will be supported by local business partners and government.
The contracts will be signed at a ceremony in Vietnam next
week when full details of the agreement will be released together with the
assignment of its team and skipper.
