The participants discussed effective orientations and solutions to ensure the sustainable development of Dien Ban District, and how to build a synchronous infrastructure between the district and both Da Nang and Hoi An.  The purpose was to promote rapid and sustainable socio-economic development of the district to ensure it becomes a large urban area with unique characteristics in northern Quang Nam Province.

At the event, a focus was also on discussing effective ways to fully tap the district’s cultural, historical and natural potential in order to develop high-quality tourism services.  This will help the district to create its own unique characteristics, as well as significantly improve its added value in the near future.
