Savills Hotels cited as examples the Ho Tram andLong Hai areas in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, which are about 120km from HCM City.
The two coastal towns are home to 19 operatingprojects in the four- and five-star segments that supply the market with 2,700rooms. Over the next three years, it will see nine new projects entering thelocal market and five existing projects extended, providing an estimated 7,600rooms.
Meanwhile, key infrastructure projects, like thehighway network connecting the southern region, the Mekong Delta, and LongThanh International Airport, will act as a catalyst for the promotion ofregional tourism and investment.
The first phase of Long Thanh Airport is expectedto be completed in 2025, becoming an important transport channel supportingdomestic and international tourism activities, particularly MICE (meetings,incentives, conferences, exhibitions).
