Ho Chi Minh City's People's Committee has given the greenlight to a detailed planning for the Can Gio Marine Tourism Urban Area in Long Hoa commune and Can Thanh town, Can Gio district.
The projected 2,870-ha development area, expanded from its original 600 ha, is expected to attract nearly 9 million tourists annually.
Located approximately 50 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City's center, Can Gio is the city's sole coastal district.
The project, with a total investment of over $9 billion, aims to create a modern marine tourism hub featuring smart city infrastructure, high-tech services, housing, and hotels.
The detailed planning is a crucial step in determining development goals for each urban area, providing a foundation for future urban planning projects.
