"The wonderful experiences of the Khanh Hoa Sea Festival 2026 will continue to bring domestic and international friends closer to the province. We warmly welcome visitors from around the world and look forward to seeing you again at future sea festivals with our blue sea, hospitable people, and aspiration to reach the wider ocean," said Nguyen Long Bien, Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa provincial People's Committee and head of the Festival Organizing Committee.
