The People’s Committee of Quang Ninh has recently approved a subzone construction planning mission (at a scale of 1/2,000) for the Tra Ban island area within the Van Don Economic Zone.
The planning area spans approximately 11,110 hectares and includes Tra Ban, Chau Zap, Cong Nua islands, as well as Van Tai, Cap Diem Chi, Buong Tro, and Cai Suoi islands, along with several nearby islets in the Van Hai archipelago, which belongs to Ban Sen, Minh Chau, and Quan Lan communes.
Under the province’s development strategy, the area is envisioned as a high-end eco-tourism and resort destination, combined with residential and public service areas, a high-tech agricultural production zone, and an ecological conservation area. The subzone will be divided into functional sections, each aligned with specific development goals.
The first is the Northern High-End Marine Eco-Tourism Zone, focused on tourism services, sports, entertainment centers, resort tourism, and residential areas tied to high-tech agricultural production.
The second is the Eastern High-End Marine Eco-Tourism Zone. This area will prioritize luxury resort tourism services, establish public beaches, develop an inland port system, and tourist piers on the Mang River, while preserving historical sites associated with the Van Don trading port.
The third is the Ban Sen Service, Tourism, and Residential Center. This area will house residents and public service facilities of Ban Sen commune, develop new low-rise eco-housing and community public services, encourage community-based tourism, and support agricultural development.
The fourth is the Southeast Residential and Tourism Service Zone, where existing residential areas will be expanded to include tourism services, with a road network connecting to Quan Lan Island.
The fifth is the Southern High-End Eco-Tourism and Entertainment Zone. Located on and near Chau Zap Island, this area will be studied for high-end eco-resorts and water-based recreational services, including marinas.
The sixth is an Adventure Tourism Zone focused on preserving mountain landscapes, located on the western shore of the island, where options for adventure and experience-based tourism will be developed.
