Danang city plans to become a tourism and sea-based economic hub of Vietnam

Danang plans to become a tourism and sea-based economic hub of Vietnam by 2030 following its adjusted master plan with a vision to 2045.

Under the plan, the central city is projected to become a part of the global supply chain network and a gateway to the East-West Economic Corridor, leaders of Danang city reported at a meeting with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Hanoi on Monday.

The city also hopes to become a special urban area in its long-term vision of becoming an international city. Its population by 2030 is expected to reach 1.79 million and the urban construction area will be about 31,800ha, accounting for more than 32 per cent of its mainland area.

PM Phuc applauded Danang authorities’ efforts to work closely with ministries, agencies and to collect public opinions into making the master plan.

The city should aim to become a special city of Vietnam to bring Danang to a higher level in terms of both quality and development scale, the PM said.

The Government leader approved the plan to develop Danang into a spearhead tourism city, a sea-based economic centre of Vietnam, a gateway to the East-West Economic Corridor and a worth-living and safe city.

Regarding waste treatment, PM Phuc said this was an important issue for Danang – A city with one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. The city should also have measures to deal with climate change.

He also asked for measures to prevent corruption in adjusting and implementing the master plan and have a proper supervision mechanism.
