Phu Quoc set for nation’s largest resort
(10-08-2007)
HCM CITY — A US$68 million joint-venture was set up on Wednesday in HCM City to build a five-star resort in the southern province of Kien Giang’s Phu Quoc Island.
The joint venture, Tropicana Island, comprises Viet Nam’s East South Asian Company (ESACO) and Tropicana, as well as the Malaysia-based Long Beach Corp.
It plans to start construction on the Tropicana Island Resort&Spa on a 30-hectare area in the An Thoi hamlet on September 18 and complete it by 2010.
Tropicana Island Resort&Spa would be Viet Nam’s largest luxury resort and the first five-star resort on Phu Quoc Island.
It would comprise more than 100 high-grade villas located on the side of the mountain, and 250 high-grade bungalows located on both the mountain and on the sea, and all of the rooms will have sea views.
The resort will also have several restaurants serving Vietnamese dishes and international cuisine.
Trade centres, children’s recreation zones, halls for big conferences, water sport areas, and a natural spa will also be available.
The design of the facilities will be built with Vietnamese characteristics.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Le Ngoc Long, executive director of the newly-established joint venture, said that the construction of Tropicana Island Resort&Spa was expected to make a contribution to the Government’s scheme for developing Phu Quoc Island into an eco-tourism centre of regional and international stature.
The project is also aimed to help the Vietnamese tourism industry ease the current shortage of estimated 11,000 hotel rooms, Long said.
"We decided to opt for Phu Quoc Island to develop our Tropicana Island project since the locality has many advantages to ensure that the resort would operate effectively. They include the advantage point of geographic position, the special ecological environment with forests and sea, and beautiful scenery."
"The Government as well as the Kien Giang administration have many preferential policies encouraging both foreign and domestic businesses to invest in the island," he said. — VNS
