Ca Mau aims to develop a comprehensive, green, smart, and highly competitive urban system by 2030. Practical experience from wards across the province shows that when localities effectively utilize their advantages, mobilize social resources, and establish clear development orientations, urban economics can become a solid pillar in the process of economic restructuring. This is not just about changes in numbers or proportions, but also about innovation in the approach, organization, and operation of a dynamic and modern economy, thereby building Ca Mau into a prosperous, distinctive, and livable place.

An Xuyen is a bright spot.

Located in the heart of the provincial capital and expected to become one of the leading urban economic development hubs of the province, An Xuyen ward has identified the development of an urban model oriented towards commerce and tourism, linked with digital transformation and the development of the night-time economy.

Within the ward, urban life is becoming increasingly vibrant with the presence of modern shopping centers, large-scale restaurant and hotel chains, and hundreds of small businesses and households in operation. Beyond commerce, the tourism sector is also developing strongly, especially as the locality focuses on investing in smart tourism, connecting destinations rich in cultural value such as the Buddhist Temple , the Wire House, and the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Area...

Mr. Huynh Van Minh, Chairman of the Ward People's Committee, shared: "We have identified the night-time economy as one of the driving forces promoting the shift in urban economic structure. Public spaces along the river, squares, night markets, etc., are being re-planned and connected into night-time economic axes linked to pedestrian streets and food streets. However, for these models to operate effectively, synchronized infrastructure investment and specific support mechanisms from the province are essential."

Despite challenges in infrastructure and investment capital, with the right vision, An Xuyen ward is gradually becoming a bright spot in the urban economic landscape of Ca Mau.

Tan Thanh capitalizes on its trade and service advantages.

Leveraging its prime location in the provincial capital, Tan Thanh ward is establishing itself as a key feature in the province's urban economic landscape. With over 4,500 businesses and commercial establishments, along with shopping centers like Sense City and Co.opmart Ca Mau, buying, selling, and service activities in the ward are constantly developing, contributing to market stability and improving the quality of life for residents.

Besides trade and services, the ward also focuses on developing industry and handicrafts in a modern and environmentally friendly direction. Many potential production facilities are being supported for development, creating significant resources for exports and providing stable employment for local people.

Mr. Vo Minh Tan, Chairman of the Ward People's Committee, shared: "In the coming time, the ward will focus on building a synchronized urban model, developing a civilized market, convenience stores, e-commerce... At the same time, we will create favorable conditions for businesses and households to access land, credit, and digital transformation. This will be the foundation for the sustainable development of the locality in the future."

Bac Lieu's development is based on its cultural foundation.

Unlike the vibrant atmosphere of An Xuyen ward, Bac Lieu ward has chosen a unique path, based on traditional culture. The urban space here maintains a harmonious blend of modernity and antiquity, with historical sites and cultural works associated with the famous legend of the Bac Lieu Prince, and the sweet melodies of Southern Vietnamese folk music...

Integrating traditional cultural values ​​with modern commerce, Bac Lieu ward has chosen to develop tourism in a multifaceted direction. Events such as the "Da Co Hoai Lang" festival, civilized tourist streets, and bustling night markets not only help preserve the local identity but also breathe new life into urban life.

Mr. Le Viet Xo, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bac Lieu Ward, shared the local development orientation: "Tourism is becoming a key economic sector. We clearly define the leading role of cultural and artistic activities, linked with modern commerce and services. Through cultural events and open spaces, we hope to create a unique image for Bac Lieu city - a place that possesses both cultural depth and the youthful vitality of a modern city."

Alongside tourism, the modern retail system in the ward has also seen significant development. Currently, the ward is focusing on improving the investment environment, supporting businesses, and enhancing service quality to achieve breakthroughs in the new phase.
