Authorities in central Thua Thien -Hue province have decided to approve planning for the Vinh Thanh coastal urban area in Phu Vang district, covering over 1,500 ha.

The total population is estimated at 25,000 by 2030 and 37,000 by 2040.

It will be developed as an ecological model in connection with environmental protection, tourism development, and aquaculture.

A highlight is its location adjacent to the sea and Tam Giang Lagoon, and it will become a town in Phu Vang district.

The urban area will be divided into four key zones, focusing on the development of tourism, hotels, and entertainment; the promotion of handicrafts and green agriculture; the construction of modern infrastructure; and the development of fisheries and coastal ecological tourism.

It will give priority to investment in projects to complete technical infrastructure and land funds for resettlement.
