As one of Vietnam’s premier tourism hubs, Thua Thien-Hue is home to the ancient capital of Hue, rich in cultural heritage and featuring six UNESCO-recognised cultural sites.
The province welcomes millions of domestic and international tourists annually. Notably, cruise tourism has shown strong recovery, with numerous operators bringing thousands of international visitors to Chan May Port.
In response to growing tourist demand, the province is focusing on urban planning and attracting investments to establish large-scale shopping and entertainment centers. These efforts aim to build a robust and sustainable tourism infrastructure.
Thua Thien-Hue also boasts six industrial parks and several smaller clusters.
The Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone, with a “prime” geographic location connecting to Da Nang, is a key asset. Covering about 27,108 ha, the economic zone has five main functional areas, including a port area, an industrial zone, a non-tariff area, an urban area, and a tourism zone.
The zone has already attracted significant investment in automobile manufacturing and assembly, making it a magnet for other industries.
To achieve its goal of becoming a centrally-run city, the province has launched several key transport projects to improve road, air, and sea connectivity. Notable initiatives include the T2 Passenger Terminal at Phu Bai International Airport, designed to handle five million passengers annually.
By early 2025, major projects such as the coastal highway, the Thuan An estuary bridge, Nguyen Hoang Road, and the Huong River bridge are expected to be completed. These developments promise to unlock new opportunities for growth and investment in the region./.
