The survey team also included a number of businesses with experience organizing night markets in Thailand.
The reason for proposing a night market street in Ham Nghi, according to this business, is that this route is located near many tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City such as the City Theater, Notre Dame Cathedral, City Post Office, Bach Dang Wharf, walking street and many commercial centers...
In particular, the location of the road is only a few hundred meters from the Saigon River. However, activities on this road have been quite quiet with very few commercial and business activities from shops and restaurants.
According to the investor's assessment, the road has great potential to attract tourists and local people, creating a commercial - service axis and entertainment spot connecting from Ben Thanh station (Le Loi street axis) along Ham Nghi to Bach Dang wharf.
Even after a thorough survey, this business confidently assessed that if it were built, Ham Nghi night market would have the potential to become the most famous night market in Ho Chi Minh City.
The policy of this enterprise is not to organize a night market (night street) in the "skewer" style, with normal cuisine, but to organize it into sub-areas: business area (including food and beverage, fashion - accessories, arts - crafts, household goods, agricultural market); cultural area (cultural - art exhibitions, event organization, product launches) and service area (tourism services and tourist support...).
District 1 People's Committee also held two meetings with this enterprise to listen to presentations on the project.
However, after the meetings, due to problems with organizing the traffic system (bus routes) and some other problems, the People's Committee of District 1 directed investors to organize in other areas such as September 23 Park or the Nguyen Sieu - Thai Van Lung - Thi Sach area, part of Le Thanh Ton Street...
The investor then left.
Many businesses in the high-end accommodation, food and beverage, and bar sectors believe that the current regulations on operating hours are limiting the development potential of businesses and these sectors.
Most businesses believe that business hours should be extended to 4am - 6am the next morning.
Some businesses also face difficulties with other regulations such as noise, lighting and media restrictions - advertising for certain products and services such as alcoholic beverages and casinos.
