Work started on a five-star hotel complex and an international convention centre, two key components of the FLC Quang Binh Beach and Golf Resort (FLC Quang Binh), in Quang Ninh District, the central province of Quang Binh on Sunday.

The 500-room FLC Grand Hotel will consist of two buildings, offering facilities like an infinity pool, restaurants, a sky bar and cigar lounge, and an outdoor stage, said Vice Chairwoman of FLC Group Huong Tran Kieu Dung at the groundbreaking ceremony.

The FLC Quang Binh International Convention Centre, meanwhile, is expected to become a leading multifunctional conference centre with a hall providing nearly 1,200 seats.

The 2,000ha FLC Quang Binh has a total investment of VND20 trillion (US$864 million). It will run the length of the province’s 5km beach and own a six-star villa resort complex and high-class golf courses.

Quang Binh is dubbed the 'Kingdom of caves' with hundreds of caves of various sizes as well as incredible mountain scenery and sprawling beaches.

It is home to Son Doong Cave, the world’s largest and most beautiful natural cave by the World Records Union and the World Records Association, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.

The province was also chosen as one of the filming destinations of Hollywood blockbuster movie Kong: Skull Island. — VNS
