The airport will cover an area of 130 hectares, including the apron, a military enclave, and a 1,800-meter runway.

The commissioning of the airport and the operation of flight routes to Co To Island is expected to boost the development of the local tourism industry and contribute to the northern province’s rescue, security, and defense activities.

The island district is expected to become a high-quality tourism hub in Vietnam and part of Quang Ninh’s sustainable development strategy.

According to the plan, the local authority will develop a seaplane and heliport in Ha Long, Cam Pha, Van Don, Co To, Dong Trieu, Uong Bi, and potential areas to diversify tourism products.

In the first two months of 2023, the province welcomed about 3.35 million visitors and earned more than VND6.5 trillion ($274.7 million) from tourism services, according to the provincial tourism department.

Vietnam is home to 22 civilian airports, 10 of which are international. Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City and Noi Bai in Hanoi are the largest.

According to the master plan, by 2050, Vietnam will have 31 airports, including 14 of them international and 17 domestic, making it one of the countries with the lowest airport density in the world.

Red Vermicelli: Dak Lak’s Delicious Delicacy

Image
Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious.
