Within the framework of the opening programme of the ‘Da Nang Beach Tourism 2023’, the event aimed to raise public awareness about environmental protection and plastic waste reduction, thereby encouraging locals and tourists to use environmentally friendly products when visiting local beaches.

During the programme, the Ambassadors of the Environment, actor Ly Hung, called on both locals and tourists to join hands with the municipal authorities to preserve the marine environment.
