The locality also suggested that in the period 2026 - 2030, when implementing the Cua Lo channel dredging project, the city should study the plan to adjust the waterway traffic route, create conditions for building a bridge to the island, meeting the people's wishes and opening up opportunities for sustainable development.

Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the City People's Committee Pham Duc An praised the efforts of the government and people of Tam Hai in implementing the two-level government model. He emphasized that the commune needs to clearly define the vision of building an island commune in the direction of an ecological, modern, and sustainable urban tourism area, while at the same time creating its own unique marks and highlights to attract tourists.

“Localities must create new, unique tourism products with their own appeal. To do this, there needs to be synchronous coordination between departments and branches and the determination and initiative of local authorities,” Mr. Pham Duc An directed.

The Chairman of the City People's Committee requested the commune to coordinate with the Department of Construction to review and adjust the planning to suit the new development orientation. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of OCOP products, identifying this as a typical product group serving tourism and promoting the local image. He also assigned the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to coordinate with relevant units to support Tam Hai in realizing the goal of becoming a model island tourism city, with synchronous infrastructure, safe and friendly living environment, contributing significantly to the overall development of the city.
