Neighbouring the central coastal city of Da Nang, Dien Ban town was the area in Quang Nam most affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak. It has made strong efforts in socio-economic recovery since, while ensuring social welfare. Several infrastructure works connecting urban areas such as Hoi An and Da Nang cities, among others in the region, have also been resumed in a bid to boost socio-economic development in Dien Ban town. With the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone and several commercial, tourism, and luxury services complexes, the South Hoi An area has become a key economic area of Quang Nam and the local vicinity. Economic development has put Quang Nam among the country’s top 10 cities and provinces with the highest provincial competitiveness index over the last decade. Quang Nam will also continue to attract works in a range of different fields. Quang Nam became an industrial province this year, and over the next five years will deploy its potential and advantages to post growth of 7.5 to 8 percent./.
