According to the general policy of the province, along with attracting industrial projects, the Southeast Economic Zone will attract investors in the fields of resorts and sports to have more unique tourism products and high-quality resorts, in order to effectively exploit tourism potential, meet the needs of investors and experts coming to work, as well as attract tourists to the province.

In an exchange with the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee and related departments, branches and localities, the head of the Provincial Party Committee emphasized the viewpoint that when attracting and implementing projects, it is necessary to ensure the environment, harmonize the interests of people and businesses, and especially minimize the resettlement of people. Projects also need to limit the ratio of real estate business and focus on exploiting the potential of tourism and sports.
