The People’s Committee of Quang Ninh Province has officially confirmed Sun Van Don Joint Stock Company as the investor for the Van Don Integrated Casino and Tourism Complex. This decision follows an approval in principle earlier this year by the Prime Minister. It is a significant milestone for one of Vietnam’s transformative tourism and entertainment developments.
Valued at more than US$2 billion, the project will cover 244.45 hectares within the Van Don Economic Zone. It will take around nine years to complete from the date of land allocation. Planned to operate for a maximum of 70 years, this will ensure long-term stability and significant regional economic impact.
Vietnam’s First Integrated Casino for Citizens
The Van Don project represents Vietnam’s first pilot integrated casino complex allowing local citizens to participate in gaming under strict regulatory conditions. The development redefines the country’s approach to leisure and tourism by creating a large-scale resort model incorporating multiple facilities into one destination.
Plans for the site include a luxury casino, high-end hotels, residential properties, convention space, shopping districts and a wide variety of leisure amenities. Visitors will also enjoy sports and recreation areas, wellness centers and cultural shows, alongside modern entertainment attractions.
Boosting Economic Growth and Tourism
The integrated resort is a cornerstone project for the Van Don Economic Zone, set to become a key driver of growth for northern Vietnam. Local officials believe it will strengthen the province’s standing as a major hub for tourism, investment and international events.
This initiative aligns with Quang Ninh’s aim of diversifying its economy and building a reputation as a global destination. By combining leisure, culture and commerce, the project will attract domestic and international travelers while creating long-term opportunities.
Sun Group’s Track Record of Development
Sun Group’s selection as the official investor shows its established track record of delivering high-value infrastructure and tourism projects in Quang Ninh. The company has already developed Van Don International Airport, Ha Long International Cruise Port, expressways and several large-scale leisure complexes.
With this new responsibility, Sun Group will play a central role in shaping the future of Van Don’s economic and tourism landscape. The integrated resort highlights the company’s capacity to manage projects of national and international scale. It reflects Vietnam’s ambition to elevate its leisure and entertainment sector to global standards.
