Vietnam's Thanh Hóa and Khánh Hòa boost tourism and night‑economy projects

In Thanh Hóa province, former soldiers are leading successful local enterprises, while land‑title delays affect dozens of auctioned plots. Authorities are promoting digital skills, smart manufacturing, and scientific farming to raise productivity. A long‑delayed road linking the Bến En tourist area remains stalled due to land‑clearance issues, and a university volunteer programme organised community activities. The province also launched a "happy worker family" model to strengthen labour‑force welfare.

Khánh Hòa province held a tourism strategy conference outlining a 2026‑2030 plan that extends to 2045, urging the development of a modern tourism ecosystem with a focus on night‑time activities. Experts recommend expanding a night‑sea economy—night cruises, waterfront promenades, seafood dining, outdoor performances, festivals and water sports—while ensuring safety and environmental sustainability. The first night‑time beach venue has opened in Nha Trang, and planners call for iconic architecture to showcase local identity.
