These are the sentences and words emphasized in Notice No. 156-TB/Thu of Cua Lo City Party Committee, after the working session of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee with Song Ngu Son Joint Stock Company, the investor of the project "Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports and Entertainment Area" in January 2022.
The reason why the working session of the Standing Committee of Cua Lo Town Party Committee with Song Ngu Son Joint Stock Company was organized is because Cua Lo Town was assigned by the Provincial People's Committee to monitor and urge Song Ngu Son Joint Stock Company to focus on implementing and completing the project "Eco-tourism complex, resort villas, sports and entertainment area Lan Chau - Song Ngu" (Document No. 6179/UBND-CN) dated August 25, 2021 on inspection and handling of slow-progressing projects in the area). Implementing the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the Town Party Committee and the People's Committee of Cua Lo Town have organized working sessions with investors to evaluate the investment work and urge the project progress. As for the Standing Committee of Cua Lo Town Party Committee, on January 6, 2022, it organized a working session with Song Ngu Son Joint Stock Company; on January 13, 2022, it issued Notice No. 156-TB/Thu.
In Notice No. 156-TB/Thu, the Standing Committee of Cua Lo Town Party Committee acknowledged the role of the investor. That is, having the spirit, goals, and ideas to invest in building Lan Chau Island into a "unique sea tourism area, a high-class sea resort, a highlight in the overall tourism of the town"; implementing investment in a number of project items for exploitation and business, initially completing a number of items and creating jobs for a number of workers in the area; at the same time, sharing the difficulties that the investor had to face during the project implementation period.
However, the Standing Committee of Cua Lo Town Party Committee found that the project implementation is having negative impacts on the marine environment and landscape, especially the scenic spot of Lan Chau Island, so it commented: “The project implementation process still has limitations and shortcomings. Lan Chau Island is a beautiful place, located in a prime location of Cua Lo beach, but the investment projects are not synchronous and not commensurate with the potential and advantages; some of the pristine, natural beauty here has been destroyed and concreted; the work of embellishment, decoration, and environmental sanitation has not been guaranteed; the project implementation progress is slow, currently only a few items have been completed (the province and town have issued documents urging investors to complete the project)…”.
Therefore, in Notice No. 156-TB/Thu of the Standing Committee of Cua Lo City Party Committee, Song Ngu Son Joint Stock Company must pay attention to preserving and maintaining the wild and natural beauty of Lan Chau Island. Pay special attention to architecture, invest in decoration for items on the island such as the Fairy Tomb, the Nghinh Phong Pavilion, the restaurant... to ensure the criteria of bright - clean - beautiful all year round of the eco-tourism site.

Actively coordinate with relevant departments, offices and localities in arranging docks to organize and guide people to participate in basket boat activities to ensure aesthetics, urban order, environmental sanitation, with specific operating hours; at the same time, improve the quality of activities and the form of vehicles to ensure the criteria: this is both a traditional market place, a boat anchorage area, a check-in point, and a beautiful beach. Coordinate with the Town Urban Management Department to conduct field surveys, collect opinions and experiences from elders and local people, assess the impact of water flow, environment... to study the plan to build a bridge to the island (ensuring the preservation and respect of the natural structure of Lan Chau peninsula).
