A second ‘food street’ opened on Monday morning in Ho Chi Minh City, one month after the launch of the first.

The new food hub is located at the Bach Tung Diep Park in District 1, bordered by Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Ly Tu Trong Streets.

The 30-meter food street houses up to 30 catering businesses run by former street vendors, who take turns to occupy the stalls in two shifts: between 6:00 am and 9:00 am, and from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The food street is the second of its kind to be opened in the southern metropolis, following a months-long crackdown on sidewalk-encroaching street vendors headed by Doan Ngoc Hai, deputy chairman of District 1.

The city’s first food street was launched on August 28 along Nguyen Van Chiem Street, which lies between the Youth Culture House and Diamond Plaza, connecting Pham Ngoc Thach and Hai Ba Trung Streets in District 1.

While the Nguyen Van Chiem food street only offers takeaways, there are tables and parasols available at the Bach Tung Diep food street for diners to enjoy their meal nearby.

Doan Ngoc Hai was present at the opening day of the Bach Tung Diep food street on Monday morning to hand out lucky money and wish the vendors a profitable year.

A representative from District 1’s administration said the district would permit night shifts in the near future to meet the varied demands of diners in the city.

The sidewalk clearance campaign began earlier this year after Hai took it upon himself to enforce the district’s often-ignored sidewalk occupancy laws.

Taking note of the campaign’s positive reception from local citizens, other neighborhoods in Ho Chi Minh City had begun following suit until the initiative came to a sudden end in late March.

Hai marked the campaign’s return with a surprise crackdown on August 9, issuing fines to multiple cars and taxis parked illegally on sidewalks and confiscating tables and chairs from eateries occupying the pavements.

At the APEC Summit, the central city of Đà Nẵng has called for investment in nine projects in tourism and entertainment worth an estimated US$500 million. 

It says it wants the development done as Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and Build-Own-Operate (BOO) models.

Deputy director of the city’s tourism department, Nguyễn Xuân Bình told Việt Nam News that the business forum was a big chance for the city’s tourism industry to show its power and potential for co-operation and investment.

He said a horse-racing project, planned on 500,000sq.m in Cẩm Lệ District, was the biggest project with a proposed investment capital of $200 million, while Ngũ Hành Sơn (Marble Mountains) Cultural and Historical Park has called for investment of $87 million.

Bình said the city also called for investment in the first underground shopping centre on Sơn Thuỷ Beach in coastal Ngũ Hành Sơn District with a proposed $40 million.

“We call for investment from foreign investors during our promotions in South Korea, Japan and Europe. 

The city will ensure favourable conditions for investors with flexible policies and positive support as well as administrative reform,” Bình said.

“The city also has an eye on calling local and foreign investment in a cruise port and piers, public parks, an international cuisine centre and a dog-race arena,” he said.

Bình said the projects would help turn the city into a centre of tourism, shopping and finance in central Việt Nam as well as a rendezvous of UNESCO-recognised world heritage features such as Huế Monument Complex, Hội An Town and Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary in Quảng Nam Province; and Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park and Sơn Đoòng Cave in Quảng Bình Province.

According to the Đà Nẵng Investment Promotion and Support Agency, Đà Nẵng has attracted 43 new foreign direct investment (FDI) projects worth $60 million in the first eight months this year, 4.6 times the amount for the same period last year.

The city now has 461 FDI projects worth more than $3.6 billion, mostly in tourism, services, property and industry.

Đà Nẵng encourages investors in high-tech industries and high-quality services in the form of public-private partnerships (PPP), as well as investment in waste treatment, infrastructure development, and solar and wind power.

Earlier this year, the city listed 68 PPP projects, 22 of them in the high-tech sector. 

From 2017-20, the city plans to attract investment worth $1.4 billion from domestic and foreign businesses.
