The 420 million USD project will be built on an area of more than 100 hectaresin Tan Minh commune, Soc Son district. It will also include a park, tourism andentertainment centres and many other facilities.

The project was first put on thetable in 1999. It was initially planned to be built in Dai Kim ward of HoangMai district and Thanh Liet commune of Thanh Tri district. However, as thelegal framework for sports betting and horse racing hadn’t been completed atthe time, the foreign partner withdrew from this project in 2005.

In August 2016, they inked a jointventure contract to invest in the project, which is set to meet five-starstandards.
