US$100 Mln Resort to Take Shape in Central Vietnam
The Vietnam Construction and Technology Development Joint Stock Company will invest some VND1.6 trillion (US$100 million) to build a resort complex in Thuan An township, Phu Vang district, central Thua Thien-Hue province, state media has said.
The 200 hectare complex will include a five-star hotel, a theatre, a convention hall, an entertainment area and a luxury urban area.
Construction of the project will start next January and is expected to complete in 2015.
Hue, located 600 km south from Hanoi and is the capital of the last Vietnamese feudal regime, derives from the quiet Song Huong (Perfume River) weaving its course between rolling hills housing the temples and tombs of the Nguyen Kings.
The imperial capital was recognized as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1993.
Thua Thien-Hue province now has more than 123 lodging establishments, including over 38 hotels that meet international standards. (VNA)
