HCMC – The central province of Thua Thien-Hue is expecting to become a centrally-governed city by 2025, as outlined in a recent directive by the provincial Party Committee. In this period, the tourism sector has taken center stage, witnessing a remarkable 27-fold increase in foreign tourist arrivals year-on-year. Thua Thien-Hue recently inaugurated Terminal T2 at Phu Bai International Airport. The disbursement of public investment capital in Thua Thien-Hue has surpassed 35% of the full-year target. Vietnam now has five centrally-governed cities — Hanoi, Haiphong, Danang, HCMC and Can Tho.
