According to Hai, who is also head of the organising committee, athletes will compete in 22 disciplines in 172 events.
With the participation of the best athletes, the Beach Games is a high-quality sporting event that honours sportsmanship and strengthens the friendship between countries and territories in the region.
Under the motto ‘Shining Sea, Bright Future’, the organisers hope that the games will add a voice to protecting and promoting the value of the sea in future development, and the prosperity of Asia and the world in general.
The Asian Beach Games were first held in Bali, Indonesia, in 2008. The concept has proved to be a great success thanks to the relatively low costs of staging sports in the sea and on the beach and with temporary infrastructure.
