As for its outstanding achievements, Son Tra has seen the rapid speed of urbanisation, drastic infrastructure construction and urban embellishment. The district has affirmed its stature as a spacious, clean, beautiful and civilised new urban area.

The local economy has achieved outstanding and comprehensive achievements, having moved in a positive direction. In particular, the strongly- developed tourism service has become the spearhead economic sector, thereby making an impressive facelift to the whole district.

Amid the prolonged Covid-19 resurgence, the district will focus on promoting all resources as many as possible to promote rapid yet sustainable economic development, enhancing local residents’ living conditions, building civilised urban lifestyle, maintaining political stability, national defence and security and promoting the strength of public solidarity in a bid to make itself more modern, prosperous, beautiful and civilised in the time to come.
