Cam Ranh, only an hour from Ho Chi Minh City by air, is blessed with beautiful ports and beaches, Hideo told Japan’s Nikkei newspaper.

He said H.I.S will work with a Vietnamese group to develop a 1.8-billion-USD resort complex with 5-6 hotels, one or two of which to be built by the Japanese firm.

The main investor in Vietnam will build a large-scale theme park inside the complex similar to Huis Ten Bosch Park in Nagasaki prefecture in Japan, he noted, adding that the Huis Ten Bosch attracts about 3 million visitors and generates 89.5 million USD in revenue every year.

In many developing countries, rising incomes result in more demand for major entertainment centres. The project will be a success if there are at least 10 million people living in the neighbourhood, because local residents normally account for 60 – 70 percent of visitors to such a park, he explained.-
