The central province of Thua Thien Hue is planning to upgrade the Phu Bai International Airport, located in Huong Thuy town, aiming to raise its passenger-serving capacity to 3-3.5 million annually by 2020, and 6.5-7 million annually by 2025.
Phu Bai
International Airport is currently capable of handling
only 1.5 million passengers per year.
Accordingly,
the upgrade work will cost approximately VND5.56 trillion (US$244.64 million),
with a focus on expanding the categories of terminals, runways, aprons, and
other infrastructure.
The area of land requiring clearance in service of the
airport expansion project will be more than 153 hectares, including 24.44
hectares in Phu Bai ward, nearly 20.8 hectares in Thuy Phu commune, and over
108 hectares in Thuy Tan commune.
Phu Bai International Airport is currently capable of handling only 1.5 million passengers
per year and is always overloaded.
In 2017, the number of passengers served by the airport
reached 1.75 million, posting an annual average passenger growth rate of 15%.
Phu Bai International
Airport holds a significant position in the economic
and socio-cultural development strategy of Thua Thien Hue province and the
North Central region as a whole. It serves as a bridge connecting the regions
across the country and around the world, playing a crucial role in bringing the
tourism potential of the province and the Central region into full play.

Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
