With its natural and social advantages, along with a strongly invested inter-regional transport system, Ba Ria - Vung Tau continues to attract many large-scale investors in many fields, including many large projects in industrial parks.
According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Vinh - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, in the coming time, the industrial - logistics driving force in Ba Ria - Vung Tau will develop along the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway and Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4.
However, despite the great potential for development, the province's consistent policy is not to be too hasty in increasing the occupancy rate of industrial parks, but to focus on attracting projects with high technology content, bringing high value, while protecting the environment to firmly pursue the goal of green and sustainable development.
