Nearly 800 volunteers to serve APEC Summit Week

During the rescue exercise 

At an induction event, volunteers took part in a short training course providing  them with general knowledge of the 21 APEC member economies, events, solutions to common issues and problems, liaison officers’ and volunteers’ functions and tasks and all necessary contacts.

On the same day, at Furama Resort Da Nang and Ariyana Da Nang Exhibition and Convention Center, a training course and an exercise on marine rescue were held for people involved to be prepared for the high-level APEC event. Such activities are important to ensure safety and security for high-ranking officials and delegates during the week.

According to a simulated scenario, a tourist was drowning at sea, and after locating the distressed individual, lifeguards on duty immediately undertook a rescue mission, taking the ‘victim’ ashore and giving appropriate first aid treatment.

The Furama Resort Da Nang and the Ariyana Da Nang Exhibition and Convention Center are selected to host key events during the APEC High-level Week.
