Long Thanh Airport and a series of billion-dollar infrastructure projects are about to reach the finish line: An opportunity for Vung Tau to 'turn into a dragon'

DNVN - The closer the time of Long Thanh airport's completion, the clearer the picture of Southern infrastructure becomes: a "golden development axis" connecting the center of Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Vung Tau is taking shape, opening up an unprecedented period of breakthrough growth for the most dynamic economic region in the country.

"Take off" with world-class infrastructure

The construction atmosphere at the "16 billion USD super airport" construction site is heating up day by day. Thousands of engineers and workers are working through the night to ensure that this national key project is completed on time as directed by the Party and State leaders. The milestones of receiving the technical flight on December 19, 2025 and commercial operation in mid-2026 are of particular interest to the people, the government and investors.

Long Thanh Airport speeds up construction, aiming to welcome technical flights on December 19, 2025.

In that picture of flourishing infrastructure, Vung Tau is rising strongly to affirm its position as an international coastal tourism city, a perfect intersection between resort vitality and “investment attraction”. Only about 30 minutes away from Long Thanh airport, when the proposal to transfer all international flights from Tan Son Nhat to Long Thanh is implemented, Vung Tau will not only be a “nearby beach”, but also a new international tourism gateway of the South.

Besides Long Thanh airport, a series of other infrastructures in the Vung Tau area are also being strongly promoted. Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway is expected to open to traffic on December 19, which will help shorten the travel time from the center of Ho Chi Minh City to Bai Sau, Vung Tau to only about 45 - 60 minutes. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Construction has just approved the planning of Vung Tau international passenger port, including two 840m long wharves, which can accommodate cruise ships of up to 225,000 GT - among the largest in the country, expected to serve from 1.39 to 1.5 million passengers per year.

Launch pad for tourism to flourish

According to the proposed exploitation plan of the two largest airports in the country, Long Thanh airport is expected to operate 80% of international flights and 10% of domestic flights; Tan Son Nhat airport will operate 20% of international flights and 90% of domestic flights.

From Long Thanh airport, it only takes about 30 minutes to reach the white sand and blue water of Bai Sau. When the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway and Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway connecting with Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 are completed, the distance between Vung Tau - Ho Chi Minh City and the Southern provinces will be shortened to the maximum. Another spectacular connection direction has also been opened, promising to create a strong effect, which is the proposal for a sea route from Can Gio.

The combination of aviation, road and seaport infrastructure is expected to make Vung Tau a high-quality, international-class tourist center. This coastal city not only attracts weekend visitors but is also ready to welcome international visitors from Thailand, Singapore, Korea or Japan... through the "Long Thanh gateway".

The combination of aviation infrastructure, highways and seaports makes Vung Tau an international tourist center.

According to experts, the strong increase in tourist arrivals will create a new wave of demand for high-quality accommodation, pressure to add entertainment and high-end resorts to promote MICE tourism, extend the time and spending of tourists. This will open up a "gold mine of opportunities" for investors to take the lead in the trend of owning flexible, multi-value tourism real estate, both for living - vacation - rental exploitation and as long-term accumulated assets. One of the outstanding projects is Blanca City developed by Sun Property (a member of Sun Group) in the center of Bai Sau.

Blanca City – “meeting place” for investors to catch the infrastructure wave

If Vung Tau is considered the “center” benefiting from the infrastructure revolution in the South, Blanca City is the “bright star” of the regional real estate market. Located next to Back Beach and on 3/2 Street – the most vibrant development axis in Vung Tau, Blanca City is positioned as a model “all in one” coastal urban area, converging elements to become a “meeting place” for smart capital flows.

Blanca City is an "all in one" coastal urban area in Back Beach, meeting the needs of accommodation, relaxation, and rental exploitation.

Not only possessing a prime coastal location, Blanca City is considered a “symphony” between high-class living - resort and dynamic entertainment services. The utility ecosystem created by Sun Group brings residents and visitors every experience from the largest seafront commercial center in Vietnam, a private beach of nearly 1km, the 15ha Sun World water park, a system of 8 landscape parks to high-class coastal hotels.

The focal point of the project is the Blanca towers. From the design simulating the image of “sails reaching out to the sea” by Aedas to the interior finishing standards implemented by Ong&Ong (Singapore), the Blanca towers bring peace of mind and unique value to investors. In particular, the two towers Blanca 6-7 are the most sought-after products on the market right now thanks to the advantage of an international operator and a different vision compared to the entire project.

The Blanca 6-7 tower duo is the most sought-after thanks to its international operator and ocean view.

In addition to owning a prime location, the owner of the Blanca 6-7 apartment also has the privilege of "double sea view", can watch the sunrise on Bai Sau beach and the sunset on Nghinh Phong cape in the same window, affirming a unique experience that few projects have. Cooperating with an international operating brand helps the owner have a sustainable passive income, avoid the burden of self-exploitation, and at the same time ensure the apartment is properly cared for and maintained. This is the reason why investors desire to own this type of apartment when they want to sustainably exploit the huge number of tourists who are and will be flocking to Vung Tau in the next decade.

The convergence of factors: synchronous traffic infrastructure, tourism development policy, Sun Group brand and the golden location of Blanca City is creating a "perfect meeting place" for investors. Not only a real estate project, Blanca City also has the vision and value of "asset accumulation" - where assets not only generate profits from short-term exploitation but also increase in sustainable value when Vung Tau transforms into an international tourist city.
