Phan Thiet City: Convenient connection point - open economic space

1. Phan Thiet is a young city with great potential for development, not only in terms of space that can be expanded according to wishes and high urban standards, but also in terms of potential and if conditions are met, it will have strong development. In 2023, the Standing Committee of Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee issued Conclusion No. 703 with the goal of expanding Phan Thiet City in a modern direction, increasing access to the sea, developing coastal eco-tourism urban areas, associated with improving coastal space, green space, increasing public space to serve the community. At the same time, strengthen the management of coastal corridors to respond to climate change, especially rising sea levels and coastal erosion. According to the plan, nearly 62 ^km2 of the entire Phu Long town and Ham Thang commune, part of Ham Liem commune and Ham Hiep commune in Ham Thuan Bac district and more than ³² km2 of the entire Ham My commune in Ham Thuan Nam district will be merged into Phan Thiet City. Increase the area of ​​Phan Thiet city after expansion to 294.29 ^km2 , with a population of nearly 300,000 people.

With the current population compared to other cities, Phan Thiet is a place with great room for the development of commercial urban areas, residential areas... In fact, in the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, there are projects to build commercial urban areas and residential areas in the North of the city, specifically in the Ham Tien - Mui Ne tourist area with 4 areas and similarly in the South of the city and the area adjacent to Thuan Quy. Real estate corporations are paying close attention to these projects. At the end of last year, Sun Group participated in an online bidding and won the bid, being approved to become the investor of the new Ham Tien - Mui Ne commercial and service urban area, also known as area 3. In the near future, there will continue to be other corporations approved by the province to invest in similar projects.

To find and invest in housing in Phan Thiet and surrounding areas, investors have certainly researched, compared and carefully calculated all aspects, especially the market. Through a series of projects, a series of industrial parks and industrial clusters have been and are opening in the direction of green, ecological, Net - zero, which also means that the rich, experts and high-quality labor force will concentrate. Although industrial parks and industrial clusters are concentrated in the South of the province, in close proximity, especially the city. Phan Thiet is an urban area located on and near national traffic routes such as National Highway 1A, North-South railway, North-South expressway, coastal road... and the upcoming North-South expressway, so it is still the center of settlement. In the next 1-2 years, the city. Phan Thiet will have strong economic vitality, many job opportunities, attracting many people to come here to start a business, to build the future, especially when this place is less prone to natural disasters, warm and sunny all year round and has all the following: "Blue sea, white sand, yellow sunshine", with a famous resort on the world tourism map.

2. Notably, Phan Thiet also has the basis and conditions to open up more development space. The nearest is the route connecting Phan Thiet city center with the North-South high-speed railway that will be built in the near future, running through Ham Hiep commune (Ham Thuan Bac) connecting to Le Duan street, more than 11 km long, opening up a wide space, facing the neighboring rural area. In addition, the coastal route through Phan Thiet city with a plan to reclaim 80 hectares of sea in 3 areas passing through not only contributes to the neatness of a coastal city but also begins a journey of expansion development following the world trend. That is, going to the sea, exploiting the "frontage" of the sea.

Suppose in the future , if the city wants to expand further , Phan Thiet has 2 options . If the land on the coast is difficult , it can also reclaim the sea . The sea is vast , not related to population relocation and more certain from the Law on Marine and Island Environment Resources , which has amended and supplemented a number of articles related to reclaiming the sea ... through Decree 65 / 2025 / CP​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

More specifically, in addition to the "frontage" of Phan Thiet City, 56 nautical miles (100 km) away, there is also Phu Quy Island, which is considered a giant floating station serving national defense and security, the intersection between the mainland and the beloved Truong Sa archipelago, DK1 Platform, so the importance of Phu Quy in terms of national defense and security covers the whole country. However, it is also a place that suffers from harsh weather affecting all activities for 6 months of the year, where more than 29,000 people live and there are fishermen who both catch seafood and are living landmarks at sea, contributing to protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands. Therefore, the effort to bring the island closer to the mainland, specifically Phan Thiet City, both literally and figuratively, especially in economic development for Phu Quy, is something Binh Thuan has focused on for many years.

Many high-speed trains have been put into operation, shortening the time to the island from 4-6 hours to only 2 hours. And in the past 2 years, Phu Quy has become a prominent tourist attraction island, thanks to which, people's income has been increased. But at the same time, there are many potential risks in the air, at sea and even the safety of the people, so we cannot ignore them, even for a minute. Therefore, we understand better why in the past, French colonialists and Japanese fascists both calculated to be present on Phu Quy island as soon as possible. We understand better the rule that to develop the marine and island economy, which is also to open up a "front" according to world trends, we need the factor of "first distance" from the capital city like Phan Thiet city today.
