On the real estate & services pillar, JTA Investment Qatar is exploring investment opportunities in Vinpearl's managed and operated five-star hotels, resorts and amusement parks clusters, which are prominently situated in Vietnam's prime tourist areas.

Furthermore, JTA Investment Qatar and Vingroup are pursuing the establishment of joint ventures to expand and enhance Vinpearl's service offerings, including hotels & resorts, amusement parks and golf courses, particularly in unique and high-growth tourism markets where Vinpearl maintains a strong market presence.

Under the MoU, the companies will engage in discussions to define their future collaboration in pursuing mutually beneficial objectives.

Founder and CEO of JTA Investment Qatar Dr. Amir Ali Salemi said that by leveraging our expertise and resources within the energy, technology, infrastructure, and tourism sectors, they are thrilled to contribute to the advancement of Vingroup's strategic objectives and promising business areas, with a particular emphasis on VinFast and Vinpearl.
