Three foreign tourists have
been confirmed dead in a fatal zip line accident at a tourist attraction in
the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong on Friday.
They
included a man and two women, police said, adding that the trio had been
using a zip line to cross the Datanla waterfall in the provincial capital of
Da Lat in the early afternoon.
Immigration
officers said they were all British.
Police have
managed to retrieve the bodies of two of the victims, and are still searching
for the last one.

The accident
happened at the Datanla tourist area, managed by the Dalat Tourist Co.
But the
deceased were taken to the area by another tour operator, Dam Me Co.,
according to Vo Anh Tan, deputy director of Dalat Tourist.
“Dam Me Co.
did not buy tickets for using the zip line, so the tourists were not provided
with the proper equipment for the adventure game by Dalat Tourist,” Tan
underlined.
Tan said the
safety equipment used for the game was imported from Europe and is given to
all tourists who buy entrance tickets.
“Some
companies, like Dam Me, have dodged the admission fees and let their guests
play the game, which might have led to today’s accident,” he said.
“The
incident is beyond our supervision, but we are still trying to help deal with
this tragedy.”
The Datanla
waterfall sits in the middle of the Prenn mountain pass, some 5km from the
heart of Da Lat, a romantic resort city.
It is a
well-known destination for adventure game lovers.
