A key aspect of this development strategy is Hoi An, which is highlighted as the region's cultural hub. The city offers numerous relic visits, festivals, and ethnic arts and craft village programs.

In addition, there are plans to build high-quality resorts and entertainment districts along the Die Ngoc – Cam An beach and the Co Co riverfront.

Cultural heritage and community

Sustainable development and future prospects

The socio-economic development plan for Die Ban, which extends to 2030, focuses on the creation of green spaces and the development of tourist coordinates. Plans include, among other things, the development of interregional routes and products as well as a new yacht pier that will promote maritime tourism along the coast.
