The authorities in Da Lat, the capital city of Lam Dong province, in southern Vietnam, are considering a plan to host a casino and a new night market, in a bid to boost the local economy, reported local news outlet VN Express.
The plan also encompasses a pedestrian street and a new night market, the latter to replace an existing venue that is said to be crowded during holiday periods.
The casino project – yet to be approved by the provincial authorities – is to be developed in the Valley of Love (pictured), a popular tourist destination near Da Lat, stated the report.
According to the media outlet, although Da Lat is known for its French colonial heritage and year-round cool climate, it is not a “popular destination with foreign visitors due to limited transport and tourism services”.
