Lao Cai province people’s committee decided on December 14 to halt performance of the four sluggish projects in the northeast of Sapa Dist.

These are the two investment projects of complexes of hotels, restaurant and recreation areas; a 100-hectare golf course projects with Saigon Tourism Corp as the main investor, and the resort complex project located in the northeast of Sapa Town, with Sapa PetroVietnam Insurance JSC as the main investor.

Previously, the local authority had issued official documents to halt performance of 33 investment projects, and to allow 16 projects to extend their investment progress until December 31, 2009, and the other six projects to continue being carried out. The main reasons for stop carrying out the projects were because the investors failed to conduct the research works and prepare for the application profile in order to submit to the functional authorities for approval in time. As for the extended projects, if the investors cannot submit the projects’ profiles to the local Department of Planning and Investment before December 31, 2009 to apply for investment certificate, the projects will become invalid.

Pham Van Cuong, vice chair of Lao Cai province people’s committee stated that in the near future, the local authority would continue check the implementation progress of those projects that have already received investment licences. If the investors fail to prove their capacity to carry out the projects as committed, the local authority will revoke the certificates in accordance with the state laws.

HCMC – La Veranda Joint Venture Co., the owner of La Veranda Resort and Spa on Phu Quoc Island, on Wednesday clinched a deal with South Korea’s B.B. Dai Minh Corporation to jointly develop a hotel in HCMC.

“We will be investing together with B.B. Dai Minh for a new Ibis hotel in District 7,” said Jean-Pierre Gerbet, general director of La Veranda Joint Venture Co.

He told the Daily after the signing of the deal that the French company had invested in Viethan Hotel Joint Stock Co., which was set up by B.B. Dai Minh Corp. to develop the 3-star Ibis Saigon South Hotel project.

Lee Young Hoon, chief executive officer of B.B. Dai Minh Corp., said Viethan had planned around US$11 million for the hotel project and that this investment would be contributed by B.B. Dai Minh and La Veranda depending on their stakes in Viethan.

The Ibis Saigon South Hotel on Hoang Van Thai Street in the new urban town of Phu My Hung is scheduled for groundbreaking in March next year and opening in February 2012.

Lee said the company should have begun work on the hotel in 2008 but had had to delay it because the tourism industry had felt the pinch of the economic downturn.

B.B. Dai Minh was waiting for more major infrastructure and commercial projects inside and outside District 7 to go online to ensure that business of the Ibis hotel will fare well when it is up and running.

Gerbet also attributed the delay to the re-designing of the hotel project as this work took at least six months.

“I think 2010 will be a good time for us to begin construction on the Ibis hotel project,” Lee said. The hotel will have some 170 rooms as well as meeting rooms, a café, gym and bar, among others.

B.B. Dai Minh has hired Accor Group to manage the hotel with Ibis, which is one of the hotel brands of the international hotel operator. Accor now manages 11 hotels across Vietnam with such higher-grade brands as Sofitel, Novotel, MGallery and Mercure.

The Ibis Saigon South Hotel is expected to be the first operational property in Vietnam to bear Accor’s Ibis brand.
La Veranda is also teaming up with B.B. Dai Minh Corp. for other property projects in Vietnam, including a high-end resort on Phu Quoc Island off mainland Kien Giang Province and a 250-hectare LA Golf and Villas project in Long An Province in the Mekong Delta
