It was also suggested at the meeting that a luxury marina, dock, five-star hotel and a casino should be added to the construction plan to attract more visitors.

The Chairman urged all parties to speed up the work of planning and investment for a complete project to be submitted to the Ministry of Construction and to the Prime Minister.

Once approved, the project will be started in April and the Vu Yen Island Golf Course is expected to be finished in 2016.
