The Danang International Paramotor Race, DIPR 2012, will be held for the first time in the central city of Danang from May 23-27.

This information was released at a press conference on May 4 to sign a contract with the event’s sponsors.

The competition, which is governed by Flight Ambulance International (FAI) regulations, will give the audience a great opportunity to see the 25 entrants from Japan, France, the US and Poland take to the skies.

The event is organized by the Danang municipal People’s Committee, with Japan’s Hang-gliding Federation (JHF) acting as consultants.

It aims to popularize the sport among local people and attract more visitors to Danang, which is known as a city of tourism and festivals.
