HCM City to build three international passenger cruise terminals
HCM CITY — HCM City plans to build three more international passenger cruise terminals to develop waterway transport and boost tourism. Bùi Hoà An, deputy director of the municipal Department of Transport, said the three international passenger cruise terminals have been included in the city’s general planning adjustment project by 2040, with a vision to 2060, set to be submitted to the Prime Minister for approval soon. After two months, the Thăng Long high-speed boat, capable of carrying 1,017 passengers on the HCM City - Côn Đảo route, will be suspended on July 29 due to inefficient operations. With its 23km-long coastline and a dense network of rivers and canals, the city holds significant potential for developing eco-tourism and urban waterway tourism. In recent years, international passenger ships coming to the city have had to dock at cargo ports like Nhà Rồng - Khánh Hội and Hiệp Phước ports, which do not meet maritime safety and security requirements.

Greater Bay Area Primary Residential Transactions Rebounded in June as Market Cooling Measures Eased
This is expected to bring greater momentum to the market, thereby supporting a recovery in residential transactions and price stabilization in 2H 2024. Housing price differences between Hong Kong and mainland cities also make GBA properties attractive to some Hong Kong people, especially for those who find Hong Kong purchase entry prices too high. As Hong Kong continues to integrate with the GBA, we expect to see increasing buying interest from Hong Kong residents, supporting a more stable outlook for the GBA residential market. Domestic capital accounted for 99% of the GBA CRE market transactions in 1H 2024, with overseas buyers and institutional investors remaining conservative (Chart 4). Hence, we believe that the GBA logistics sector will continue to attract investors' attention into the future.

Universities require abnormally high GPA from student applicants
However, the two most popular methods are based on student GPAs (grade point average) at high school and their high school final exam results. This is because the quota for admitting students based on their high-school records is small, while demand is very high. In many cases, high school teachers ‘fabricate’ high GPAs for students. High school teachers tend to give high marks to 12th graders’ school work because the marks will partially determine the future of students. Admitting students based on their high school records is new in Vietnam, so schools are cautious when using this method.
