In particular, Ninh Thuan has identified the southern region of the province with an area of ​​43,900 hectares as a new growth pole to promote the province's potential and advantages in terms of seaports, logistics service centers, industrial parks, urban areas, and tourism. The province aims to have enough conditions to establish a coastal economic zone of the country by 2025.

“Ninh Thuan will prioritize the development of key sectors, forming a synchronous ecosystem to create momentum to promote the development of industrial production and processing projects and pillar industries of the province,” informed the Chairman of the Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee.

Commenting on the potential to attract investment in the tourism industry, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Ky, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietravel Group, said that Ninh Thuan has many destinations with wonderful landscapes to develop tourism such as Vinh Hy Bay, Ca Na, Dam Nai...

Mr. Ky suggested that the province's tourism development strategy needs to be different, focusing on promoting Cham culture because it has not received adequate investment in the past. If done well, it will create a unique tourism culture.

“In the coming years, we are committed to making Ninh Thuan the main destination of Vietravel. We will invite the province to participate in tourism promotion in other countries to bring tourists to Ninh Thuan,” Mr. Ky affirmed.

In addition, Vietravel committed to investing in tourist trains with Vietnam Railways Corporation to travel on the heritage route from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang and from Nha Trang to Da Nang.

As a business that is also investing in Ninh Thuan, Mr. Dang Van Thanh, Chairman of TTC Group, proposed that Ninh Thuan province should increase investment in infrastructure, because reality shows that localities with good infrastructure will attract investors. Along with infrastructure investment, the province needs to have preferential policies to attract businesses to participate.

Ho Chi Minh City enterprises signed a memorandum of understanding with units of Ninh Thuan province on investment promotion cooperation.

Regarding planning, Nguyen Quoc Ky proposed that Ninh Thuan should plan industrial zones and concentrate them on the west side of National Highway 1, because that area has railways and roads, so it will make good use of the traffic infrastructure.

Mr. Ky said that if the locality wants businesses to invest, it needs to invest more in education and reduce tuition fees to attract students from other provinces and cities to study and work in the locality. From there, there will be good resources to meet the needs of businesses.

Responding to information proposed by some enterprises, Mr. Tran Quoc Nam, Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee, said that the province has been applying the highest incentive level within the State's regulatory framework according to the provisions of the Investment Law, Land Law, Corporate Income Tax Law and Import-Export Tax Law.

"The province is committed to having the best investment policies and the most convenient and simple administrative procedures for investors when they come to invest in Ninh Thuan," Mr. Nam pledged to a large number of investors.

Within the framework of the conference, Ho Chi Minh City enterprises signed 13 memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with units of Ninh Thuan province to promote investment, cooperate in production and business, and train human resources.
