On Saturday morning, a high-speed boat service connecting Da Nang with Quang Ngai Province’s Ly Son Island was officially put into operation.

At exactly 8:10 am, the high-speed boat, named Trung Trac, with IMO number of 9886483, carrying a total of 350 passengers of 10 tourist groups, along with some invited guests and reporters from media agencies across Da Nang, officially departed from the city's Han River Port.

Also present on the first trip by the boat from Da Nang to Ly Son Island were Da Nang People’s Committee Vice Chairman Tran Phuoc Son.

After 3 hours, the boat docked at the Ly Son Island’s Port.

The boat’s first visitors to the island were warmly welcomed right at the Ly Son Island’s Port by Standing Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Tran Hoang Tuan, and some leaders of the province’s tourism sector.

In his remarks at a welcome ceremony, Standing Vice Chairman Tuan underlined that the recently-launched Da Nang-Ly Son inland waterway tourism route was a new tourism product, aiming to lure tourists after two years of the interruption of tourism activities due to the impact of COVID-19.

He also expressed his belief that this new tourism product would bring a fresh and new experience to tourists, as well as well satisfy their increasing demands in the coming time.
