Malaysia’s AirAsia Group recently canceled its foray into the Vietnamese market, and increased traffic has placed strain on Vietnam’s aging infrastructure.

"Even international airlines don’t have an ecosystem like Bamboo’s," said Quyet, chairman of Bamboo’s parent company, FLC, which owns five golf resorts across the country.

Injecting capital into the energy sector will enhance … [Read more...] about Actions advised for Vietnam to lure investors amid energy crunch
