Resort projects located along the beach in Da Nang that have failed to get construction work started will be dealt a tough hand as the municipal administration has decided to ‘return the beach’ to the public.

The developers of many projects in Da Nang have received investment licenses, but the best they could do was erect high walls surrounding their allocated land plots, blocking entrances to the beach.

Such stagnant projects are now faced with losing their license, as the city’s chairman Huynh Duc Tho on Monday requested relevant agencies to inspect their investment progress.

Such projects as the De Nhat entertainment area, a surf training school, and the Huy Khanh sports and entertainment complex are most likely to lose their license, according to the city’s chairman.

Other sluggish tourist areas, including the Nam Phat, Hon Ngoc A Chau, I.V.C., and The Nam Khang, must be penalized if they fail to meet the committed progress, Tho requested.

The punishment includes license and land plot revocation, according to the chairman.

The resorts were allowed to be built at ‘prime’ locations along the beach and their developers held lavish groundbreaking ceremonies, after which they did nothing with construction.

These stagnant projects thus block the way to the beautiful beach in Da Nang, which deeply angers local residents.
