Corporations such as Sun Group, Vingroup, Bitexco, and CEO Group are leaning toward cooperating with international hotel management groups instead of building and developing their own resorts as before. This approach seems to be helping domestic and international brands take advantage of each other’s strengths, with one side possessing economic potential and market knowledge while the other brings brand name and management experience. Marriott International, on June 22, signed a strategic agreement with Vinpearl, Vietnam’s largest hospitality and leisure chain, which currently operates 35 hotels and resorts spanning 17 cities and provinces.

On Thursday last week, Evason Ana Mandara Resort in Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province was closed so that it could be moved to another location. Like many other residents, Nguyen Van Tho remains skeptical after hearing this news, stating that the resort was still there after three terms of provincial chairmanship. “Every time the authorities issued an ultimatum, they ended up allowing the resort developer to renew the contract so that the venue could remain on the valuable land plot for some extra years,” Tho elaborated. Built in 1997, Evason Ana Mandara Resort, originally Ana Mandara, covers an area of 28,000 square meters on the coast located east of Tran Phu Street. In 2011, the Khanh Hoa administration required the resort to terminate … [Read more...] about Vietnamese authorities determined to relocate seaside hotels in famous beach cities
