First international air-balloon festival in Binh Thuan

 

The Binh Thuan People’s Committee, in collaboration with the Binh Thuan Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Chien Thang Service Co., Ltd., is hosting this year’s event. The organizers aim to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Binh Thuan liberation (1975 – 2025) and the 33rd anniversary of the province’s re-establishment (1992 – 2025).

 

This festival is expected to feature 20 – 30 hot air balloons piloted by approximately 50 balloonists from various countries such as Indonesia, France, South Korea, China, Belgium, Japan, and the Netherlands.

 

There will be 5 hot air balloons anchored in the festival area for tourists to admire. These balloons will range from 22 to 30 meters in height and 16 to 18 meters in diameter, with flights occurring twice a day (6:00 AM - 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) to heights of 200 to 500 meters at a speed limit of 28 km/h. Various side activities and performances will also take place during the festival.

 

The VIHABF 2025 is hoped to become an annual event, emerging as a significant tourist attraction, aimed at drawing more domestic and international visitors to Binh Thuan.
