QUANG NAM (Biz Hub) — The Muong Thanh Hotel Group opened a four-star hotel in Tam Ky, the central province's capital, yesterday, marking its second hotel in Quang Nam and 34th landmark in Viet Nam.

The group said at the opening ceremony of the Grand Muong Thanh Hotel on August 10 that the hotel had 233 rooms and conference halls to accommodate more than 2,000 visitors at a time.

The opening of the hotel has increased the number of hotels rooms in the province to 7,000.

Earlier this year, the seven-storey Muong Thanh Hotel was opened in Cua Dai Beach in Hoi An City.

Last September, the group opened the VND400-billion (US$19 million) Muong Thanh Da Nang hotel in Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang.

According to the latest reports, the Muong Thanh Group is developing 50 hotel projects to provide 6,000 rooms nationwide, which will account for 10 per cent of the country's tourist accommodation.

Last year, the central Quang Nam Province also granted an investment licence to a five-star hotel chain for constructing a VND500-billion ($24 million) beach resort in Hoi An City.

The province, which is home to the world heritage sites of Hoi An, My Son sanctuary and Cham Island biosphere reserve, has attracted 110 tourist projects since 1997.

Investors have built nearly 100 international-standard hotels and resorts with 7,000 rooms, while the provincial tourism industry has created 15,000 jobs. — VNS
