Strategic goals, long-term vision

The investment objective of the Hoi An - Da Nang urban railway project is not simply to solve traffic problems, but to aspire to create a multimodal transportation system integrating five key modes of transport: road, rail, waterway, air, and sea, in a modern direction, meeting the needs of sustainable development and international integration.

The project aims to ensure seamless connectivity not only between key urban areas within the province such as Hoi An, Dien Ban, and Tam Ky, but also extending to neighboring regions such as Da Nang, Thua Thien Hue, and Kon Tum. This connectivity will form coastal economic corridors and East-West economic corridors, creating a driving force for development to spread to many areas within the province and linking synchronously with the whole country, reaching out to the international community.

In particular, the urban railway project is expected to be a "launchpad" for the development of Hoi An's smart, ecological, cultural, and tourism-oriented urban areas. With the goal of becoming an "innovative" and "international" city by 2030-2050, investing in a modern public transport system like the LRT is a strategic step, creating a foundation for attracting high-quality human resources, promoting innovation, and improving the quality of life for residents. At the same time, the project also contributes to diversifying economic sectors, not only focusing on tourism but also expanding into service, trade, and industrial sectors.

Outstanding investment performance, multifaceted impact.

The investment efficiency of the Hoi An - Da Nang urban railway project is expected to bring positive and comprehensive impacts in many aspects:

• Reducing road traffic congestion: The overload on the vital Da Nang - Hoi An road, especially during peak tourist season with an estimated traffic volume of up to 10,000 vehicles per day, significantly impacts the experience of tourists and the lives of local residents. Urban rail will be a fundamental solution, significantly reducing pressure on existing road infrastructure and bringing about smoother and more convenient traffic flow.
• Connecting dynamic development zones: The LRT line will serve as a crucial bridge between the dynamic urban centers of Quang Nam province, such as Dien Ban, Hoi An, Duy Hai, Tam Ky, and Nui Thanh. This connection will facilitate the movement of goods, services, and labor, promoting economic, commercial, service, and tourism development, and fostering the formation of satellite cities around the stations, creating a network of evenly developed and sustainable urban areas.
• Promoting sustainable development: In the context of a global trend towards green development, the urban railway project is a pioneering step for Quang Nam in building an environmentally friendly transportation system. The use of electric energy and the reduction of private vehicles will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting the environment, and aligning with the province's orientation towards developing an ecological and smart city.
• Strengthening international connectivity: Synchronized connections with international airports (Da Nang, Chu Lai) and important seaports will create a seamless, multimodal transportation system, making Quang Nam an attractive gateway for international trade and tourism. This will facilitate attracting foreign investment, developing international tourism, and enhancing the province's position in the process of deeper integration.
• Socio-economic development: The urban railway project is not just a transportation infrastructure project, but also a powerful driving force for the socio-economic development of the province. It will create many job opportunities during construction and operation, promote the development of service, trade, and logistics industries, and enhance the competitiveness of Quang Nam and the Central region.

Well-planned strategy, clear roadmap.

According to the information provided, the planned urban railway (LRT) will connect with Da Nang's LRT line at Truong Sa Street, a key transportation artery in the area. The line will run along the DT.603B axis and terminate at the intersection of DT.603B and Hai Ba Trung Street (Hoi An International Bus Station), creating a convenient and efficient transportation link between the two famous tourist cities.

The project has been integrated into the transportation development plans of both Quang Nam and Da Nang provinces for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050. This demonstrates the thorough preparation and strong determination of the authorities at all levels in realizing the project. The goal of completing the feasibility study in 2024 and commencing construction in the 2025-2030 period is a concrete and promising roadmap.

Quang Nam calls for strategic investment.

The Hoi An - Da Nang urban railway project is not just a simple transportation project, but a strategic project with far-reaching implications for the future development of Quang Nam province. With clear objectives, outstanding investment efficiency, and well-planned development, this project promises to bring immense benefits to both the community and investors.

This is a golden opportunity for domestic and foreign investors to participate in a key transportation infrastructure project, contributing to the sustainable development of one of Vietnam's most promising regions. The early implementation of this project will be a crucial driving force for Quang Nam to realize its goal of becoming a modern, dynamic city with a prominent position on the regional and international map.

Quang Nam province is committed to creating all favorable conditions for the successful implementation of the Hoi An - Da Nang urban railway project, bringing sustainable value to the community and investors.
