At the same time, social and service infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities in Quang Nam has also met the demand of investors and locals.
According to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Quang Nam has more than 5,436 hotel rooms to international standards, which makes it an attractive destination for tourists.
So far, the locality has attracted 126 FDI projects worth 5.5 billion USD from investors from all around the world, including the Republic of Korea, Japan, Singapore, the US, China, France, Germany and Italy.
