Quang Ninh approves tourism project in Van Don


Van Don Economic Zone in the northern province of Quang Ninh will have a 300-hectare tourism complex worth US$112mil as the provincial government just approved the project last Friday.

Vu Nguyen Nhiem, chairman of the provincial government, told the Daily that he signed the investment certificate, allowing the 167 Joint-Venture Co., Ltd. to develop the luxury tourism complex.

It is the biggest tourism project licensed into Van Ron since July when Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung agreed to develop Van Don District into an economic zone.

He said the investor would develop many tourism facilities in the complex including a 27-hole golf course, a five-star hotel of 15 stories, villas for rent, resort area, and an outdoor concert area among others.

Nhiem said during 42 months, the investor, which is a Vietnam-U.S. joint venture, would build major works for the complex such as the golf course and the hotel. It is also seeking permission from the Prime Minister to build a casino section there.

Van Don Economic Zone covers the entire precincts of Van Don District with the total area of 2,200 square kilometers, and comprises 600 islands and islets in Bai Tu Long Bay of Quang Ninh Province.

Nhiem said some tourism projects have been licensed into the zone but most of them are of small scale. Currently, some investors are surveying the investment potentials in the zone.

The provincial, government will work with the National Institute for Urban and Rural Planning under the Ministry of Construction to organize a contest to seek the best ideas to make an overall planning scheme for Van Don Economic Zone.

"We have established an organizing committee and will launch the contest soon to call for foreign and local consultants to contribute the best ideas for the zone's development," Nhiem said.
