Lam Dong province is shaping four development centers to achieve breakthroughs.

A scientific workshop held on May 30th in Da Lat proposed a multi-centered development model for Lam Dong province, with Da Lat, Phan Thiet, Gia Nghia, and Bao Loc - Di Linh playing the role of new growth drivers.

On the afternoon of May 30th, a scientific workshop titled "Lam Dong Province Development Model: Potential and Breakthroughs" was held in Xuan Huong Ward, Da Lat, with the participation of scientists, experts, managers, and the business community.

Presiding over and speaking at the workshop, Associate Professor Dr. Doan Minh Huan, Member of the Politburo and Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, noted that the consolidation of administrative boundaries has given Lam Dong the largest land area in the country, opening up new development opportunities with many advantages for linkage and mutual support. The workshop not only had academic significance but also served as a forum connecting scientists, managers, and businesses to seek effective solutions and mechanisms for Lam Dong's development model in the new phase.

At the workshop, experts and managers focused on analyzing the outstanding advantages of the locality such as high-tech agriculture, ecotourism, and renewable energy. In addition, many opinions also pointed out limitations in transportation infrastructure, the quality of tourism services, and the need to conserve the ecosystem during the development process.

Many delegates proposed groundbreaking mechanisms and policies to attract investment, improve governance capacity, and create momentum for sustainable growth.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, believes that Lam Dong's development model should be oriented towards a green, interconnected, multi-centered, ecological, and smart axis. The goal is to build the locality into a center for high-tech agriculture, green marine economy, clean energy, high-quality tourism, and industry in the southern region.

According to this orientation, Da Lat will play the role of a center for innovation; Phan Thiet will become a center for the maritime economy; Gia Nghia will develop into a center for green industries, energy, and mineral processing; while the Bao Loc - Di Linh area is oriented as a center for administration, services, and high-tech industries.

At the workshop, many opinions agreed on the goal of increasing Lam Dong's GRDP by over 10% annually in the coming period. To realize this goal, delegates proposed that the Central Government consider a special mechanism to accelerate investment in inter-regional expressways, upgrade Lien Khuong Airport and Phan Thiet Airport, and develop seaport infrastructure.

Experts also recommended focusing on developing renewable energy, marine economy, high-tech agriculture, carbon credit markets, creative tourism, and medical tourism, thereby creating a foundation for green and sustainable growth.

According to Y Thanh Hà Niê Kđăm, Secretary of the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee, the province is facing a pivotal development opportunity. He noted that growth models based on resource exploitation or traditional tourism and agricultural development have reached their limits and no longer have much room for breakthroughs.

Mr. Y Thanh Ha Nie Kdam emphasized that Lam Dong needs a new strategic mindset and a new "launching pad" to reposition itself in the region and nationwide. The scientific arguments and proposals at the workshop will be an important basis for building a new development model for Lam Dong, aiming for rapid, sustainable growth and becoming a dynamic growth pole of the South Central Coast and Central Highlands regions.
