Vung Tau Airport once the airport is relocated and relocated to Go Gang Island
Ba Ria-Vung Tau Provincial Standing Committee showed interests in the projects but said that there must be detailed research about population density, traffic density, parking lots to connect with the city's traffic infrastructure, including both elevated and underground routes. The financial and hi-tech centre should be reviewed and changed to a hub of bank branches.
The local authorities are preparing for a bidding process for Go Gang Airport. Nguyen Hong Linh, party secretary of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, proposed to include the Vung Tau-Go Gang airport project in the list of the provincial key projects to speed up the process and more rapidly deal with problems.
Many people have supported the idea to relocate and replace Vung Tau Airport to Go Gang. The new airport is located next to Truong Sa Street. One side is adjacent to the river and others are next to the mangrove forests.
Land prices in Vung Tau City surged as soon as it was announced that Go Gang Airport will be built on a 250 ha of land in Long Son District.
A 900 square-metre plot that is about 400 metres from the road used to cost some hundreds of millions of VND but now it is being sold for VND1.6bn (USD68,200). A 700-square-metre land that is next to the supposed entrance to Go Gang Airport is being sold for VND2bn.
"With higher land prices, I can sell some land to build more houses and expand business. I'm glad," a local said.
Vung Tau People's Committee advised the buyers and investors to be more careful and research carefully to avoid too good to be true offers.
