Today, the journey to explore Lam Dong for tourists is increasingly diverse. Besides resorts, sightseeing and enjoying cultural products, many people choose to combine travel with sports.
Lam Dong's advantage is its natural space stretching from the plateau, mountains and forests to the sea and islands. Diverse terrain conditions create opportunities to develop many tourism products associated with sports such as forest trekking, off-road running, cycling, golf, SUP paddleboarding, kite surfing or flyboarding...
Not every sporting experience requires adventure. Visitors can start their day by jogging, cycling around Xuan Huong Lake, exploring the roads in the pine forest or participating in a long-day resort-combined race.
The attractiveness of this type is shown through large-scale sports events held locally.
In March 2026, the Dalat Ultra Trail off-road marathon attracted more than 7,000 athletes from home and abroad. Along with the Fun Cup 2026, SUP & Run Marathon and many other events, Lam Dong is gradually becoming a venue for sports and tourism activities.
Each tournament not only attracts athletes but also brings relatives and friends to stay and experience. The demand for hotels, food and sightseeing is boosted, contributing to creating additional revenue for the local tourism industry.
Continuing the events that have been organized, Lam Dong is coordinating to prepare the Sports Festival 2026 series, taking place from August 1st to September 22nd.
It is expected that more than 10 sports and many national and international-scale tournaments will be organized, aiming to attract thousands of athletes and tourists.
Through sports activities, tourists can both compete, exercise, and have the opportunity to explore the landscape and use local tourism services.
Leaders of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee affirmed that the locality will coordinate and create conditions for sports and tourism events to be organized safely, effectively, and in accordance with regulations. Thereby, introducing potentials, advantages and attracting more domestic and international tourists.
As the demand for experiential tourism and outdoor activities is increasingly developing with destination exploration, from roads running through pine forests to sea sports, the combination of sports and tourism is opening up more product development directions for Lam Dong and contributing to extending stay time and increasing experiences for tourists.
