Concerns about losing the “green” image of the heritage-rich ancient capital were prevalent when Thua Thien Hue province began developing industrial and economic zones (IZs and EZs) decades ago. However, through the province’s meticulous selection process, many of these zones have flourished, proving the right direction and significantly contributing to job creation and socio-economic development.

This December 2023, the Regional Container Lines (RCL) from Thailand opened an international container shipping route to Chan May port. This shows not only the potential and advantages of the port but also a driving force and catalyst contributing to the development of the Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone in particular and Thua Thien Hue province in general.

After years of dreaming and waiting, La Son - Tuy Loan Expressway has been completed and put into use since this April. This is a key project with the mission of creating a new driving force in socio-economic development not only in Thua Thien Hue province but also in the Central Region.

In the face of one year with many difficulties and challenges under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hue City has mobilized resources to implement the program of boundary adjustment in association with renewal and construction of urban infrastructure, creating a driving force behind the socio-economic development.
