Key development directions for Vinh City after the merger.
Vinh City is identified as the engine of growth and the key economic development hub of Nghe An province and the North Central region; it is a Class I urban area, the center of the North Central region in the fields of finance, trade, tourism, science and technology, information technology, high-tech industry, healthcare, culture, sports, and education and training. It holds an important position in national defense and security, and serves as a national and international transportation hub.
Vinh City will develop multi-sectoral and multi-field services; focusing on clean industries, high technology, industrial park and urban service complexes; developing cultural-historical and ecological tourism, promoting the identity of Nghe An province and high value-added service industries.
The expanded Vinh City (according to the plan approved by the Prime Minister), combined with the neighboring inter-district area (Vinh, Cua Lo, Nghi Loc), will continue to be the central and leading area for socio-economic development of the province, further developing Vinh City into a center for economy, culture, science and technology in the North Central region. Within this, the existing Vinh City area will continue to develop and complete its functions in regional commercial services, education and training of high-quality human resources for the region, and the formation of new science and technology centers.
Developing a system of functional centers linked to expanding areas, creating satellite functions for existing centers such as: developing Cua Lo into a seaside tourism center; Nghi Loc into a port and industrial center; Nam Dan into a cultural and ecological tourism center; and Hung Nguyen into a high-tech ecological agriculture center.
Nghe An province will develop the Vinh airport area into a center for international trade, logistics, and tourism services, creating international connections for Nghe An province and the North Central region via air travel. The area surrounding the airport will be planned for development according to the airport city model, prioritizing the allocation of reserve land for future expansion needs. The Lam River and Hoi estuary area will be developed into a hub for passenger transport and tourism on the sea and river, thereby developing the corridor along the Lam River into a focal point for eco-tourism, resort tourism, and a gateway for sea-based tourists.
Utilize the buffer zone surrounding the existing Vinh city center to develop ecological, service, and tourism functions such as training schools, medical centers, scientific research areas, and golf courses. A major advantage is that the expanded Vinh City has 45 classified historical and cultural sites, including 18 national-level sites and 27 provincial-level sites..
Currently, Vinh City is preparing to approve the action program to implement Resolution No. 16-NQ/TU, dated July 16, 2024, of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on building and developing Vinh City until 2030, with a vision to 2045.
