New momentum for coastal citiesNguyen Van Dinh, Vice Chair of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, said that with its long coastline and rich marine ecosystem, Vietnam has many opportunities to strongly develop its marine economy. Its location along important maritime routes in the region not only enhances its geostrategic position but also opens opportunities for maritime industries, logistics, renewable energy and especially marine tourism. In addition to generating large revenues from tourism and services, the development of coastal cities also drives growth in trade, real estate, transport and logistics. Tran Xuan Luong, Vice Director of the Vietnam Institute for Real Estate Market Research and Evaluation, said Vietnam is facing a major opportunity to develop integrated marina real estate models. The combination of the marine economy and coastal real estate is considered by many experts to be a “blue gold mine”, generating significant economic value but still not fully tapping its potential.
