Tra Vinh is calling for investments of VND2,830 billion ($116 million) in five eco-tourism projects across the Mekong Delta province.

The first is a VND1,700 billion ($69.57 million) eco-tourism complex in the mangrove forest of Ba Dong sea, Duyen Hai township. Covering 368 hectares, the project features hotels, resorts, underwater facilities, recreational facilities, food and beverage services, among others.

The second is the 20-hectare Hang Duong eco-tourism project in My Long Nam town, Cau Ngang district. The VND80 billion ($3.29 million) project includes camping areas, maritime tourism resorts, and others.

These two projects are located in the Dinh An Economic Zone, which can welcome big vessels via Hau River and connect with other popular tourism destinations of Phu Quoc and Con Dao islands via maritime routes as well as tourism routes in the Mekong Subregion countries.

The third is a 50-hectare eco-tourism complex, worth VND250 billion ($10.28 million), in Tan Qui Isle, Cau Ke district. Tan Qui Isle on Hau River is well-known for its green environment, featuring fruit specialities of the Mekong Delta.

The Long Tri Isle eco-tourism complex in Long Duc commune, Tra Vinh town is the fourth project. Covering 50.28 hectares, the VND300 billion ($12.34 million) project features gardens with speciality fruits, food and drink services, and resorts.

The fifth, the 368-hectare Bien Ba Dong tourism complex in Truong Long Hoa commune, Duyen Hai township, has investment capital of VND500 billion ($20.46 million). The project faces the sea in the south, the Ba Dong River in the north and east, and the Duyen Hai power complex in the west.

Wind power turbines will be a distinct attraction of the complex. Most of the project site is being managed by the state, which means land clearance will be easy.
