The 27,108 hectare-zone boasts a 130-metre
wharf in the Chan May seaport able to accommodate ships with load capacity up
to 5,000 tonnes, and the beautiful Lang Co beach which is easily accessible
from the newly-opened Hai Van tunnel.
In an attempt to lure more local and
foreign-invested projects, the EZ's management board has offered investors
various facilitations, particularly tax-related incentives. Businesses
operating in the EZ, for instance, will be exempted from income tax in the
first four years and enjoy a 50% discount in the next nine years.
The incentive has helped the EZ woo 61
projects from both local and foreign investors, including nine still under
consideration with a total registered capital of US $50.6 million.
Currently, four projects are under operation
with a total investment capital of US $30.7 million. Prominent is the Nam Alcan
Co. Ltd with a net export turnover of US $150 million in 2006, accounting for
more than 70% of the province's total export revenue.
More projects like a US $4.5 million
petroleum dock warehouse and a US $4 million gas depot of the Gas Petrolimex
joint-stock company are currently under construction.
The EZ has also attracted 23 projects in tourism,
including four operational ones.
In the future, the Chan May-Lang Co EZ,
together with the Chu Lai, Dung Quat and Nhon Hoi, will form a string of key
economic zones in the central region.
