Previously, the People's Committee of Dong Nai province requested departments and Vinh Cuu district to clarify the use of 24 hectares of land on O island and Dong Truong island.
These are two islands close to each other in the middle of Tri An Lake, about 4-5km from the shore with many tourist activities, camping, and resorts (O Island - Dong Truong tourist area).
According to the explanatory report of IDICO Company, in 2000, Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee assigned the O - Dong Truong Island tourist area to Dong Nai Tourism Company to manage and develop tourism . However, the business operation process was not effective.
In early 2017, Dong Nai Tourism Joint Stock Company and Cuong Thuan IDICO Company signed a contract to transfer assets on land in this tourist area.

After that, Cuong Thuan IDICO Company invested in upgrading infrastructure, building many large-scale projects to serve tourism (such as resorts, restaurants, golf courses, swimming pools, concrete roads around the island...) with a budget of nearly 200 billion VND.
Currently, through inspection by the authorities, Cuong Thuan IDICO Company has renovated 30 old works and built 11 new works.
According to the report of Cuong Thuan IDICO Company, the items, works and assets built by the unit on O Island and Dong Truong Island are for tourism development.
