QUẢNG NGÃI — Construction of the Cocoland Riverside Resort & Spa with total investment of VNĐ160 billion (US$7.1 million) to boost tourism connections is to start soon in Quảng Nam.
Vice director of the provincial department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Huỳnh Thị Phương Hoa, said the project would be a key tourism landmark in serving community-based tourism services in the rural and mountainous areas of the province as well as Lý Sơn Island.
She said the site, 8km east of Quảng Ngãi City, planned to be open with 68 villas to accommodate the increasing demand of tourists visiting the province and Lý Sơn Island in late 2019.
The island of Lý Sơn, Ba Tơ District, Thanh Thủy Village, Mỹ Thiện Village and the rural gardens of Nghĩa Hành District have been selected as community-based tourism sites in the province from 2019.
The province, in co-operation with Quảng Nam and Đà Nẵng, has planned cruise tours connecting Lý Sơn Island with the world biosphere reserve Chàm Island, Hội An and the Sơn Trà Peninsula.
Last year, the province hosted 810,000 tourists, including 69,000 international visitors, marking 12 per cent growth and earning $30.4 million.
The province had attracted 48 foreign direct investment (FDI) and 485 locally-invested projects with total investment of $1.55 billion. — VNS
