Southernmost Province Plans US$18.8M for Tourism Complex
The southernmost province of Ca Mau is planning to invest VND300 billion (US$18.8 million) in a tourism complex in Khai Long Beach, aiming to turn it into a tourism hub by 2010.
As planned, many entertainment facilities and venues will be built in the complex. However, details of the project has not made available at the moment.
The province is calling investment from foreign and domestic investors in the project, hoping to soon start the project construction.
Ca Mau is a vast submerged region in the Mekong River Delta of Southern Vietnam with criss-crossing rivers and canals of thousands of kilometers long.
The area is endowed by nature with a great potential in eco-tourism. Visitors to the locality will have an opportunity to wander through the submerged mangrove forests, to visit the islands, bird sanctuary, human dwellings and wild nature conservation areas.
Ca Mau greeted 379,000 visitors and earned tourism revenue of over VND70 billion (US$4.4 million) in the first eight months of the year.
The locality is also seeking more investment into six other large eco-tourism projects. (Vietnam & Word Economy)
