Confidence in growth
Many positive and optimistic signals in the first days of the spring of At Ty were reviewed, multiplying the belief and expectation about the socio-economic development of Quang Nam in 2025.
Optimistic beginnings
In 2024, the number of visitors and tourists staying in Quang Nam increased significantly compared to the same period, both international and domestic. This is considered a positive signal to forecast a better development of the province's tourism picture in 2025.
Specifically, according to the analysis of the Provincial People's Committee, the total number of visitors and tourists staying in Quang Nam during the Lunar New Year is estimated at 395 thousand, an increase of 30% over the same period in 2024.
Another positive sign is that the province's budget revenue in January 2025 maintained its momentum, reaching about 10.7% of the plan. At the launch ceremony of 2025, Quang Nam's "leading crane" enterprise - THACO - inaugurated 6 major projects and works - promising a very positive picture of economic growth for the province.
In 2025, Quang Nam set an economic growth target of 9.5 - 10% and must strive to achieve it, in order to prepare to join the whole country in achieving the double-digit growth target in the coming period.
Seize development opportunities
In the new atmosphere, right after the Tet holiday, the provincial leaders gave strong instructions, requiring cadres, civil servants and public employees to immediately start performing assigned tasks.
At the spring meeting of At Ty 2025, alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Luong Nguyen Minh Triet emphasized the key tasks that need to be carried out in February 2025, creating a smooth path for the completion of the province's development targets and tasks.
In the immediate future, the Provincial Party Secretary requested agencies, units and localities to seriously and resolutely implement the policy of streamlining the organizational apparatus to ensure stable operation in February.
Along with that, focus on reviewing and removing difficulties for businesses, especially public assets, projects that are slow to deploy and put into use, causing waste. Based on the review, sectors and localities will compile statistics and report to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee for consideration and focus on direction, with the spirit of clear solutions, clear people, clear work in handling and resolving.
“The Central Government is very determined to resolve difficulties for projects. This is an opportunity for the province. If we miss it, we will waste a large resource for development investment. If we cannot mobilize resources from these wasteful projects, we will not have enough resources to achieve double-digit growth in the coming period. This is very urgent. We request the Provincial People's Committee and Provincial People's Council to direct a review in all localities to compile statistics and report to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee specifically and clearly in order to focus on direction,” said Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet.
Another key task that needs to be focused on is to remove bottlenecks in site clearance for project construction. According to the Provincial Party Secretary, this is a very big bottleneck, but the proposed solutions are not strong or drastic enough, so they have not created momentum in solving it. The working program of the Provincial Party Standing Committee in February also heard a report on this topic. Accordingly, the restructuring of organizations in charge of site clearance and land fund development will be considered; if necessary, a higher-quality unit will be established to more effectively carry out this task in localities...
Bustling atmosphere of early spring production
Enterprises in the province have continuously started production at the beginning of the year, right from the 6th day of Tet. This start-up is expected to have a year of stable production and business, creating jobs, contributing to the development of the province in 2025.
Workers return to the factory
Throughout the long Tet holiday, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son (from Ha Tinh province) who is working at the on-site fire prevention and fighting team of Quang Nam - Da Nang Urban and Industrial Park Development Joint Stock Company (Dien Nam - Dien Ngoc Industrial Park) still sticks to his work with his colleagues.
“We worked during Tet, I didn’t go home to visit my hometown, I stayed to work. I’m used to working, I miss home but I’ll arrange time to visit my hometown later. The whole company has been back to work since the 6th day of Tet, everyone is working with enthusiasm after the holiday with their families. We hope for a year of safe work, with workers being taken care of, that’s peace of mind” - said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son.
At Phuoc Ky Nam Joint Stock Company (factories in Tam Ky and Tien Phuoc), with about 5,000 workers, they also started working again from February 3. The working atmosphere at the beginning of spring was bustling and full of laughter as the company had orders at the beginning of the year for workers to return to work.
Mr. Nguyen Van Quoc, a worker at the factory in Tien Phuoc said: “At the end of the year, the company has fully resolved the regime for workers, so we are very excited and have a happy Tet. At the beginning of the year, the company announced that we will resume work because there are orders to complete, so we are more assured and confident in a year with a lot of work and good income. We just hope that the company will develop and have many orders, then our work will be stable and our life will be more leisurely.”
New expectations
In the province's large industrial parks such as Tam Thang, Tam Thang 2, Thuan Yen (Tam Ky), Dien Nam - Dien Ngoc (Dien Ban), Bac Chu Lai (Nui Thanh)... enterprises have also started production and business activities from February 3 until now.
According to Mr. Vu Hong Nhan - Chairman of the Board of Members of Chu Lai Industrial Park Infrastructure Development Company Limited (Cizidco), in both industrial parks invested by Cizidco, enterprises have resumed operations.
Mr. Nhan said: “The company's plan for 2025 includes specific tasks, from completing compensation and site clearance of 9.2 hectares and implementing land lease and infrastructure investment at Bac Chu Lai Industrial Park. At Tam Thang Industrial Park, adjusting the investment progress and project adjustment, continuing to support Panko Company to complete environmental licensing, and completing environmental licensing for the Industrial Park. The remaining vacant land in the Industrial Park has ensured infrastructure, Cizidco will continue to promote investment in new projects, at the same time compensate, clear the remaining 38 hectares and implement land lease, invest in infrastructure”.
At Tam Thang 2 Industrial Park, Capella Quang Nam Joint Stock Company, the investor, said that there are currently 7 enterprises leasing land, of which 4 are operating and 1 is under construction. The number of employees is 686. Mr. Nguyen Phuong Chinh - Deputy General Director of Capella Quang Nam Joint Stock Company informed that in 2025, Tam Thang 2 Industrial Park will attract 8 new projects, which are expected to create more jobs for workers and added value for the economy. Mr. Chinh said: "Capella has successfully signed a memorandum of understanding with Tinfulong Material Singapore PTE and is carrying out procedures for granting investment certificates, and has supported the completion of granting investment certificates to OBE Vietnam Co., Ltd. and Yue Teng Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. The company also continues to work with secondary investor delegations to survey and discuss land leasing."
Meanwhile, at Dien Nam - Dien Ngoc Industrial Park, there are currently 76 projects in operation, creating jobs for more than 23,000 workers, contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of the province.
Mr. Nguyen Lanh - Director of Quang Nam - Da Nang Urban and Industrial Park Development Joint Stock Company said: "In the industrial park, there are ineffective projects that waste industrial land, so we have called for more effective projects to replace them. In the coming time, we will continue to review and negotiate with the business owner for any projects that do not continue according to the law. If they are no longer in operation, we will replace them with more effective units."
During the spring visit and working session with enterprises, Comrade Luong Nguyen Minh Triet - Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee encouraged and welcomed investors of large industrial parks in the province for their efforts in attracting investment, actively contributing to the provincial budget and socio-economic development, contributing to ensuring social security in the region.
The Provincial Party Secretary suggested that investors selectively call for projects, prioritizing green economy, circular economy, and clean projects. For industrial parks that have been filled but have ineffective projects and abandoned land, investors have promptly changed and called for new projects, as the investor of Dien Nam - Dien Ngoc Industrial Park has done quite effectively.
With difficulties in calculating land rental prices, site clearance for infrastructure investment, and as a basis for attracting new investment projects in industrial parks, Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet requested units, departments, and the Provincial People's Committee to actively support enterprises. Enterprises and investors themselves actively make recommendations, proposals, and proactively schedule meetings with agencies, then provincial agencies must also step in to provide maximum support to enterprises in accordance with the law.
Quang Nam continues to accompany and support businesses
Affirmation of Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Dung before the spirit and confidence of businesses investing and expecting with Quang Nam.
* Sir, does the 7.1% growth target reflect businesses' confidence in the leadership and management of the provincial government?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE VAN DUNG:
The province's negative economic growth in 2023 has many reasons, but mainly because businesses are facing difficulties in production and business activities, and do not have conditions to expand investment and markets.
Recently, the Provincial People's Committee has focused on many solutions to promote production and business, focusing on removing difficulties for enterprises; supporting conditions for economic development, including FDI enterprises, real estate, trade and services. For cooperatives, the province also organized dialogues to listen and find ways to resolve difficulties.
Accompanying, gradually removing difficulties, businesses restore production and business activities, contributing to economic growth. Although the difficulties are not over yet, businesses have great confidence in the management of the provincial government. As far as I know, many businesses are willing to invest in expanding production and business, which will be an opportunity for the province's economy to grow and develop.
* What solutions will the province focus on to complete the growth target of 9.5 - 10% this year, and aim for double-digit growth with the whole country, sir?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE VAN DUNG:
The spirit and confidence of businesses in Quang Nam is very high, this is a great opportunity for the economic development of the province. The Provincial People's Committee also has high expectations for the upcoming economic growth, with readiness and sufficient basis for confidence to promote economic growth, with a double-digit level as proposed by the Provincial Party Committee's resolution and directed by the Central Government.
Quang Nam continues to accompany and support businesses, especially promptly removing difficulties to attract investment; unleashing social resources by creating favorable conditions for organizations and individuals to invest in developing production and business. Only when businesses develop will the economy grow.
Focus on directing and promoting administrative reform, especially the civil service system, taking care of building a team of officials who truly accompany businesses and serve the people. Resolutely and effectively implement public investment and disbursement of public investment capital, national target programs. Along with that, focus on removing difficulties, preventing the current waste situation. There are a number of unfinished projects and works that can cause great waste to society, which need to be resolved, on the one hand, preventing waste, and on the other hand, contributing to unlocking resources for economic growth. Promote the mining sector, which still has a lot of potential. As well as support investment and development for the cooperative sector, in order to connect the consumption of agricultural products...
Happy village festival
Festival drums have been beating in the countryside. People from everywhere come to attend the spring village festival, wishing for a year as bustling as the festival...

Dai Loc region's customs
Many traditional folk customs and festivals rich in community cohesion in Dai Loc region are being promoted.
Pilgrimages to the spiritual land with pagodas, temples, and village communal houses continue every spring. And large and small festivals are held on the first and second lunar months. Although life is difficult and busy, in the community, the source of spiritual culture is still preserved, reminding each person not to forget the village customs and roots.
Dai Loc residents and tourists from all over often visit large pagodas such as Co Lam, Giac Nguyen, Ha Tan... Usually, going to pagodas at the beginning of the year is to pick up lucky branches, pray for luck and peace in the new year. Many pagodas have posted red cards on tree branches so that Buddhists and people everywhere, after offering incense and worshipping Buddha, do not forget to pick up a card with their wishes for the beginning of spring.

On the 7th day of Tet, the "best tourist village in the world" Tra Que is filled with the fragrant scent of basil and coriander, during the Cau Bong festival - the moment when people express their respect and gratitude to heaven and earth, the gods, the ancestors who founded the village and pray for a new year of favorable weather, prosperity, and bountiful harvests.

In the bustling village festival season, like a joyful message carrying positive energy to start new journeys...
Warm Tet in new house
For poor households throughout Quang Nam, this Tet is truly meaningful as they get to "celebrate Tet" in new houses.
Having a new house is warm enough for Tet!
Mr. Alang Xuan (born in 1992, Co Tu ethnic group), and his two daughters, residing in Ben Giang village (Ca Dy commune, Nam Giang district) moved to a new house about half a month before the Lunar New Year of At Ty.
No longer isolated from the village as in the old house, the new house of Alang Xuan and his father was built on the family's land, surrounded by many happy neighbors.
Before, when they first got married, Alang Xuan and his wife Alang Thi Chuan built a temporary house out of bamboo and thatch about 1km from the village. The couple was living a peaceful and happy life with their two young daughters when disaster struck. In 2023, Alang Xuan's wife unfortunately passed away in an accident, leaving him as a single father.
In 2024, Alang Xuan received support to remove temporary and dilapidated houses from Resolution 13 of the Provincial People's Council of 60 million VND and 50 million VND from the Red Cross Society of Quang Nam province sponsored by a philanthropist in Da Lat City (Lam Dong). In addition, the school of his eldest daughter also gave the family 8,000 bricks to build a house.
After the construction period, the house was handed over to the family before the Lunar New Year of At Ty. The house has an area of 60m2 including a living room and 2 bedrooms, a corrugated iron roof, and clean tiled floors.
“Since we got our new house, my father and I have been very happy. Before, when I saw my wife and children living in a temporary house every time it rained, I felt sorry. Now that we have a new, solid house, we don’t have to worry about leaks anymore, and we feel very secure and warm. I am grateful to the State and the community for caring about situations like mine,” Alang Xuan shared.
“On the 26th of Tet, after receiving my salary for making glue, I took my two daughters to the district to buy each of them a new outfit, a new pair of sandals, then bought a few kilos of pork, candy, watermelon seeds and a few other items to bring home to prepare for Tet. Just a little shopping for the atmosphere, because this Tet, for my father and I, having a house is already too happy” - Alang Xuan confided.
In the new year, Alang Xuan wishes for himself to have good health and work hard to raise his two children to adulthood. He also wishes to have a cow to increase production and make capital. With extra money, he will continue to complete the house (the house has not been painted yet) to give his children joy and motivation to study...
Life is better since the new house
In the mountainous commune of Phuoc Gia (Hiep Duc), this is the second year that the family of Mr. Ho Van Dim (born in 1979) and his wife Ho Thi Be (born in 1991, Ca Dong ethnic group) celebrate Tet in their new house.
Early spring (January 7, At Ty), when contacting the family, we learned that both husband and wife had gone to work. Over the phone, Ms. Be said that her husband went to work in the glue factory and she was in the mountains herding cows.
In 2023, Ms. Be's family received 60 million VND from Hiep Duc district to build a new house from Habitat for Humanity. Also this year, the couple was given 2 breeding cows to develop their livelihood and escape poverty.
From the support, Ms. Be's family is determined to build a new house worth more than 120 million VND, of which the family contributes more than 60 million VND from land rental and buffalo sales. "Thanks to the "support" from the support, my husband and I dare to decide to build a house. This year is the second Tet that the whole family gathers in the new house. The house is not big but enough for the children to have a more comfortable living and studying space. We are happy to celebrate Tet in a solid and more spacious house than before, the children and husband and wife all have their own living rooms" - Ms. Be shared.
In the new year in the house of love, the couple encouraged each other to strive to escape poverty in the coming time.
