Hai Ha: Taking advantage of every opportunity to develop the economy

Implementing the province's working theme for 2024, "Improving the quality of economic growth; developing culture and people rich in Quang Ninh identity", since the beginning of the year, Hai Ha district has focused on implementing solutions to effectively exploit economic sectors with great room for development, creating momentum for the district to break through and rise up.

Hai Ha Seaport Industrial Park infrastructure is invested synchronously.

With advantages in transport infrastructure and preferential policies of the border economic zone, Hai Ha continues to be a locality chosen by investors as a destination. Since the beginning of the year, the district has attracted 3 foreign direct investment projects with a total registered capital of over 387 million USD. The new investment projects are all in the processing and manufacturing industry, concentrated in the Hai Ha Seaport Industrial Park.

Up to now, Hai Ha Seaport Industrial Park has attracted 25 investment projects with a total capital of nearly 3 billion USD. By July 2024, 18 projects had come into operation, attracting 14,000 local and other local workers.

With the attraction of new investment projects, the district's industry and construction sector continues to achieve high growth results, reaching nearly 14,800 billion VND in the first 7 months of 2024, equal to 62.2% of the plan, equal to 107.2% over the same period.

Mr. Luu Van Thuong, Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People's Council, said: To continue to create breakthrough development in the field of processing and manufacturing industry, the district will closely coordinate with relevant departments and branches, especially the Economic Zone Management Board to complete the planning of sub-zones. At the same time, Hai Ha focuses maximum resources on investing in completing infrastructure, especially auxiliary infrastructure for Hai Ha Seaport Industrial Park. From there, it will create advantages in attracting domestic and foreign investment projects.

Based on exploiting the potential and advantages available in the tourism sector, since the beginning of the year, Hai Ha district has also organized a series of cultural and sports events and programs to attract tourists. In particular, the Cultural - Tourism Week "Cai Chien Welcomes Summer" 2024 was held at the end of April 2024 with many activities such as: The opening art program "Cai Chien Welcomes Summer 2024"; organizing booths to introduce and sell OCOP products, cuisine; cultural and sports activities.

With many effective and suitable solutions, in the first 7 months of the year, Hai Ha district has welcomed more than 110,000 visitors. Tourism revenue reached nearly 150 billion VND, equal to 96.08% of the plan for the whole year of 2024, up 45.4% over the same period. With this result, tourism is increasingly accounting for a high proportion in the district's economic structure. In particular, Hai Ha tourism brand is increasingly known to many domestic and foreign tourists. This is also a very important factor to create a new development step for the local tourism industry in the coming years.

In addition, import-export activities also had positive growth with a total import-export turnover of more than 36 million USD, an increase of 26.55% over the same period. In particular, with the official announcement of the opening of the Bac Phong Sinh (Vietnam) - Ly Hoa (China) customs clearance route belonging to the Hoanh Mo (Vietnam) - Dong Trung (China) bilateral border gate pair in June 2024, it opened a new development period for the Bac Phong Sinh border gate economic zone as well as Hai Ha district. Thereby, creating an important premise to promote investment attraction, upgrade infrastructure, study appropriate policy mechanisms, and create favorable conditions for import-export activities.

The positive results achieved in the first 7 months of 2024 are the premise for Hai Ha to strive to fully complete the socio-economic development targets of 2024. In particular, the total production value strives to reach more than 36,000 billion VND; total social investment capital is 8,890 billion VND; services are 10,815 billion VND; average income per capita is 89.6 million VND. The whole district has no more poor households and reduces 50% of near-poor households according to the multidimensional poverty standards applied in the province in the period of 2023-2025. Especially with promoting the development of industries and fields that account for a large proportion in the economic structure, the large development space is an important foundation for Hai Ha to further improve the quality of economic growth in the long-term strategy.
