Hanoi (VNA) – The Government has issued an action plan to implement the Politburo’s Resolution dated January 28, 2022, on developing coastal central Khanh Hoa province by 2030 with a vision to 2045.
Among the targets for 2025, this resolution aims at local per capita gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of 104 million VND (over 4,500 USD), an urbanisation rate of 65 percent, non-agricultural workers accounting for 77.97 percent of the local workforce, and a rate of trained workers at 85 percent.
The respective targets for 2030 are 189 million VND, 70 percent, 81.91 percent, and 90 percent.
To that end, Khanh Hoa needs to step up digital transformation, effectively capitalise on resources, and boost economic restructuring in a way that maximises potential and advantages to develop the maritime economy, high-tech processing and manufacturing industry, logistics services, the energy sector, and tourism, according to the Government’s action plan.
It will have to maintain sustainable industrial development which will serve as the main growth driver for the province to become a centre for maritime economy and high-tech industry of the southcentral region, the Central Highlands, and Vietnam as a whole.
In agricultural development, large-scale concentrated farming will be promoted with increased application of scientific and technological advances, processing and sale under value chain, and added value. This process will be carried out in tandem with new-style rural area building.

Other tasks specified by the action plan include developing a diverse service sector that has high intellectual and technological content, with focus on tourism, logistics, and digital economy; forming national- and international-level trade centres; building logistics systems; expanding Cam Rank International Airport; and developing large-scale passenger and cargo ports in Van Phong Economic Zone.
Besides, Khanh Hoa should exert efforts to concurrently turn tourism into a key economic sector, protect the environment, preserve and bring into play the local cultural identity, and boost related sectors.
Meanwhile, Nha Trang should be developed into a tourism city, the tourism area in the north of Cam Ranh Peninsula into a national-level site, and the Northern Van Phong area into a world-class maritime tourism city. The province also needs to boost tourism connectivity with others in the southcentral region, the Central Highlands, and the country at large. Those moves are expected to help turn Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa into a leading tourist destination in Southeast Asia.
The action plan also pointed out the necessity to develop uniform, modern, and inter-connected socio-economic infrastructure, especially transport infrastructure, while strengthening the province’s ties with other localities nationwide./.
