According to Lao Dong, Chieu Market and Mai Market (Da Nang City) are two traditional markets, attracting many people and tourists. However, after a period of use, the two markets are seriously deteriorating.
Mr. Tran Quang Vinh (doing business at Chieu Market, Da Nang City) - informed that the market has long been dilapidated and dilapidated. Many stalls in the middle of the market have become places to store belongings and are left empty, most of the traders here have moved to the roadside area to make it easier to trade and do business.
"Previously, the market had a plan to relocate but it has not been implemented yet. On rainy and windy days, traders here are forced to cover with a makeshift tarpaulin all day" - Mr. Vinh said.

Not far away, Mai Market (Nguyen Phan Vinh Street) is now in a state of disrepair. With an area of about 2,000m2, after many years of operation, the market items have rotted.
After many years of doing business in the market, the market has deteriorated, and the traders here are also haunted by living with flooding. The market is low, just one rain and the entire market is flooded, businesses are forced to use raincoats and tarpaulins to surround stalls and market roofs.

Talking to Lao Dong, Mr. Tran Hoang - Mai Market Manager (Da Nang City) said that there are currently about 225 business households in Mai Market. The market has been degraded for a long time, and we hope that the authorities will pay attention so that traders can feel secure in doing business and trading.
The Department of Industry and Trade of Da Nang City recently said that the investment in upgrading and repairing traditional markets in the past has been directed by the City People's Committee to the Department of Industry and Trade, the Department of Agriculture and Environment, and the People's Committees of wards and communes to pay attention to improving exploitation efficiency and meeting people's shopping needs.
The implementation of investment in upgrading and repairing markets in the city (except for markets invested and managed by the Department of Industry and Trade, the Department of Agriculture and Environment) is the task of local authorities based on the current situation and needs of markets in the area to propose solutions for upgrading, repairing and submitting to competent authorities for funding approval.
However, in the past, investment implementation at some markets has been slow, the reason is that capital has not been allocated, calling for socialized investment has encountered many difficulties, there is no land fund to expand the market, and the private economic sector has not been attracted to participate in the investment model, manage, and exploit the business of markets...
