Master Planning Unlocks Resources in Lien Huong
The signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) by five enterprises, representing total registered capital of over 6.563 trillion VND, underscores the investment appeal and development potential of Lien Huong Commune. Simultaneously, this milestone opens opportunities to connect resources to systematically realize local spatial planning orientations following the administrative merger.
Expanding Spatial Horizons, Shaping Growth Drivers
Under the general master plan approved via Decision No. 1669/QD-UBND dated June 29, 2026, Lien Huong is oriented to develop along an urban axis closely linked with high-potential economic sectors. These core pillars encompass commercial services, tourism, the marine economy, high-value agriculture and fisheries, energy, and industry. The locality aims to meet Class III urban criteria by 2030, laying the foundation for considering the establishment of an urban ward after 2030.
One of Lien Huong's standout advantages lies in its marine economic zone and coastal tourism assets. The locality features a long coastline with distinctive natural landscapes, including the Seven-Color Pebble Beach, Co Thach Mossy Rocks, and the Hon Cau Marine Protected Area. Complementing these are recognized cultural and historical sites, such as the Binh An Communal House National Monument, Po Dam Cham Towers, Co Thach Pagoda, and Nam Hai Whale Temple. The cultural identity of local fishing communities and the Cham ethnic group, combined with the Chau Cat mineral water source in the Ong Gu Mountain area, creates strong potential for developing eco-tourism, cultural, spiritual, wellness, mineral mud, and healthcare tourism products.
According to statistics from the Commune People's Committee, registered tourist stays in the area reached approximately 615,000 arrivals. However, accommodation facilities remain small-scale and mismatched with existing potential. Projections within the master plan indicate that by 2050, tourist stays could reach approximately 1.45 million arrivals per year, creating demand for around 11,741 rooms. This represents significant headroom for the locality to attract investment in high-end hotels, resorts, and integrated service complexes.
Infrastructure connectivity also serves as a crucial foundation. Major transport routes including National Highway 1A, the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway and Provincial Road DT716, alongside regional transport corridors, are designated to strengthen links between the urban core and production centers, tourism zones, and economic hubs. When developed synchronously, this transport framework will expand freight transport capacity, draw investment, and unlock new development space for the locality.
Unlocking Resources, Bringing Planning into Practice
At the conference on planning implementation and investment promotion held on the afternoon of October 23, 2026, Lien Huong Commune presented investment MOUs to five enterprises with total registered capital exceeding 6.563 trillion VND.
Among these, three projects belong to the energy sector: Phu Lac Wind Power Phase 2, Phong Dien 1 - Binh Thuan Phase 2, and Phuocthe - Binh Thuan Wind Power Plant. Two projects belong to the tourism sector: the UTISYS Luxury Hotel Complex and the Co Thach Binh Thuan International Eco-Tourism Resort Complex.
In addition, the locality is calling for investment in 10 project groups for the 2026 - 2030 period. The commune is actively completing necessary conditions and partnering with investors to translate commitments into reality.
Nguyen Truong Sa, Chairman of the Lien Huong Commune People's Committee, stated that the master plan provides a critical framework for the locality to organize spatial development, manage and utilize resources efficiently, build infrastructure, and attract synchronized investment. The locality commits to transparent information disclosure, administrative reform, and active enterprise support to address operational bottlenecks promptly, ensuring the smooth rollout of suitable projects that generate employment and raise local incomes.
According to the Commune Economic Division, from July 1, 2025, to the date of planning report drafting, the commune processed 240 business registration dossiers with a 100 percent on-time resolution rate, totaling over 64 billion VND in registered capital. Construction permit applications meeting requisite conditions were likewise processed on schedule. These initial results highlight ongoing business environment improvements, creating favorable conditions for investment activities across the area.
The locality will focus on effectively executing the master plan, step by step completing infrastructure, and creating favorable conditions to attract suitable projects. Simultaneously, we look forward to partnerships with businesses to efficiently tap local potential, generate job opportunities, drive economic growth, and improve the living standards of our people.
