Van Don to develop a high-end integrated tourism and service complex
On June 27, the Prime Minister issued a decision approving the investment policy for a high-end integrated tourism and service complex in the Van Don Economic Zone. The project will be located in Van Yen commune, Van Don district, with boundaries defined in accordance with the approved construction master plan for the area.
With a minimum investment of USD 2 billion, the project will operate for a maximum of 70 years from the date the investor receives the official investment approval.
The complex aims to become a world-class destination for luxury resort tourism and entertainment, featuring high-end casino services and international-scale event facilities.
Key components of the project include casino operations, real estate development, tourism services, hotels, resort villas, commercial centers, office space, conference and convention facilities, as well as top-tier wellness, sports, and entertainment amenities.
Casino operations, including the pilot program permitting Vietnamese citizens to enter casinos, will only commence once all legal requirements are met under Vietnam’s casino business regulations and other relevant laws.
The total project area covers 244.45 hectares. Of this, 182.37 hectares are designated for construction and functional zones, including land for the casino, hotels and resorts, tourism and commercial services, resort villas, public facilities, parks and green spaces, sports and recreational areas, schools, water surfaces, beaches, parking areas, infrastructure hubs, roads, and other technical infrastructure, all of which developed in line with the approved master plan.
The remaining 62.08 hectares consist of natural forest land (38.29 hectares of protection forest and 23.79 hectares of production forest) interspersed within the project area. This forest land will be preserved in its current state, managed in accordance with forestry regulations and not allocated or leased for development.
The project must be implemented within nine years from the date the investor receives land allocation or leasing approval. The Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee is responsible for determining the method of investor selection, ensuring compliance with laws on investment, land use, bidding, and other relevant regulations. The selected investor must demonstrate adequate financial capacity and meet all legal requirements.
