The 12-storey hotel was built over 2,700 square metres with some works lying on an area of 473 square metres of agricultural land on Tran Hung Dao Street in Duong To Commune.
On January 29, Vu Manh Hung started dismantling his 12-storey hotel which was built over 2,700 square metres with some works lying on an area of 473 square metres of agricultural land on Tran Hung Dao Street in Duong To Commune. The construction, which was built without planning approval, is located along one of the routes leading to the centre of Phu Quoc Island.
Hung said that the demolition work would take an estimated three months.
In August 2022, the Phu Quoc People’s Committee issued fines worth a combined VND61.5 million on the project's developer and ordered the dismantling of illegal construction works within 10 days.
The developer was also required to return the land plot to its original condition. However, it was not until now that the developer carried out the removal of their construction.
Chairman of the Phu Quoc City People's Committee, Huynh Quang Hung previously signed a decision to request the building's investor, Vu Manh Hung, 54, from Hanoi to remove his illegal construction.
An inspection team from Kien Giang Provincial People's Committee also found 79 villas had been illegally built on land managed by the state on the popular tourist island.
The committee has ordered the cessation of construction at the site of the villas and also requested the local electricity company to cut power to the properties.
