Central Vietnam province plans $15.8 mln high-end lodge, tourism advanced undertaking

Vietnam’s central coastal province of Binh Dinh has granted in-principle approval for a VND403 billion ($15.83 million) resort and tourism project.

The project will consist of four main sites in Nhon Chau Commune, Quy Nhon town.

The first one, Bai Truoc tourist spot, will feature a high-end resort and hotel with a maximum of 200 rooms. The second one, Gieng Tien-Ban Co Tien spot, will be designated as a sightseeing and food & beverage area, spanning no more than 3,460 square meters.

The third one, Bai Nam tourist spot, is planned as a high-end resort with villas, restaurants, and various amenities. The last one will comprise a central square and sea park, designated for social activities such as festivals, a night market, community-based tourism, and F&B services.

The entire project is scheduled for completion within 42 months from the date of investor approval.

Nhon Chau Island commune, commonly known as Cu Lao Xanh, is located about 30 km from Binh Dinh mainland. Despite its significant potential for economic and tourism development, it remains underutilized. In April 2024, leaders of Binh Dinh province conducted a survey to assess the planning of Nhon Chau commune for tourism development.

According to the provincial tourism department, Binh Dinh welcomed 9.2 million tourist arrivals in 2024, up 83.9% year-on-year. The figure included 93,850 foreign visitors, up 17.3%. The province was estimated to post VND25.5 trillion ($1 billion) in tourism earnings, up 55.4%.
