DANANG – The north central province of Quang Binh is calling for investment in 62 projects in the 2021-2023 period, covering a variety of fields, from tourism and agriculture to industry, energy, trade and infrastructure.

Twelve of the projects belong to the tourism sector, including ecotourism areas, high-class resorts, river tourism and nature tourism projects in all of the localities of the province. These projects will be presented at the Quang Binh Province Investment Promotion Conference themed “Quang Binh – safe and outstanding destination”, which will take place on January 16 and 17. The province will use the occasion to kick off the Quang Trach 1 Thermal Power Plant project in the Hon La Economic Zone, Quang Trach District.
