Meanwhile, 28 streets across the city have been upgraded and decorated, while the Cham Sculpture Museum has designed programmes and tours to introduce the history and culture of Cham people to attract more visitors, especially foreigners, during the APEC Summit Week 2017.

The municipal People’s Committee has also urged the Danang Water Supply Company to ensure the supply and quality of water for the event.

Other localities to host APEC 2017 activities include Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An in Quang Nam province, Can Tho, Ha Long in Quang Ninh province and Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa province.
