Kuwait City, Kuwait, March 23, 2026: On behalf of the Olympic Council of Asia, it gives me great pleasure to welcome the media to the 6th Asian Beach Games in Sanya, Hainan Island.
Sanya is a jewel in China’s crown of holiday destinations, with its sparkling blue seas and glorious sandy beaches.
The OCA is convinced that Sanya will provide the perfect setting for our sixth edition of the popular Asian Beach Games, and that athletes, team officials, spectators and media alike will enjoy the atmosphere and the ambience of this event.
The Asian Beach Games, which were first held in another tropical paradise, Bali, Indonesia in 2008, have always combined sport and tourism. Sanya 2026 will be no exception.
The media always play an important role in the success and the smooth running of any international multi-sport event.
Your coverage, whether it be broadcast, photography, written media or social media, will transport the magic of the Asian Beach Games around China, Asia and the world, promoting the unity and solidarity of the OCA and also the beauty and business potential of Sanya and the Hainan Free Trade Port.
There is always a fun, family and friendly vibe around the Asian Beach Games, and the media will be able to project this modern presentation of international sport through your various platforms.
The OCA and the Sanya Asian Beach Games Organising Committee have been working closely over the past few months to provide the best working environment and conditions for the 1,000 media expected to attend the event.
Enjoy the Asian Beach Games!
Enjoy Sanya!
Enjoy your work here in beautiful Hainan Island!
Wishing all our media a very successful mission.
