The promoter of Hoiana Resort & Golf (pictured), a complex with foreigner-only casino on Vietnam’s central coast, says a new phase will add “more than 1,000 five-star hotel rooms”.
Nguyen Vinh Tran, general director of Hoi An South Development Ltd, stated in a recent speech that its most-recent financial plan prepared this year, allows for a further US$2.6-billion in investment on top of US$1.4-billion already committed.
The US$2.6-billion included work to “attract” US$1-billion input for a new phase.
Mr Nguyen mentioned the latter would include: “A multifunctional international convention centre with a capacity of up to 2,500 guests to host large-scale events; a family-oriented retail and entertainment complex; the expansion of a second golf course integrated with a professional golf training centre and academy offering international certifications,” as well as “the addition of more than 1,000 five-star hotel rooms”.
“These projects are expected to create over 2,000 new jobs and contribute more than VND2 trillion [US$76.1 million] in tax revenue annually,” he added.
As per Mr Nguyen’s recent comments in a speech to senior Vietnamese officials at an investment conference for the vicinity of Da Nang, where the resort is located, the approved master plan of Hoiana covers 985.5 hectares (2,435 acres), with a committed investment capital of US$4 billion.
The general director said that since Hoiana opened in 2020, it had brought into operation a number of five-star hotels with more than 1,200 rooms in total, a casino featuring 140 gaming tables and more than 270 electronic gaming machines, and an international-standard 18-hole golf course.
Mr Nguyen also noted that in 2025, Hoiana contributed more than VND1.1 trillion to the state budget and was among 10 outstanding enterprises proposed for commendation for major tax contributions nationwide.
The general director also said that currently, Hoiana employs nearly 2,700, with 98 percent of them Vietnamese, and with the average monthly income of approximately VND15 million.
