The new Dak Lak province has a unique position as both the “center of the Central Highlands” and the “gateway to the East Sea”, with the aspiration to become a new growth pole of the region and the whole country.
Dak Lak province has a special geographical position, being the gateway connecting the Central Highlands with the South Central Coast, facing the East Sea. With a natural area of over 18,000 km², a population of over 3.3 million people, a border of over 71 km and a coastline of 189 km, the province has many favorable conditions for developing the marine economy , high-end resort tourism, international trade and cooperation, as well as developing agriculture with high added value.
