Quang Nam merged into Da Nang on July 1, 2025—bringing the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone and Hoi An Ancient Town under centrally-run city administration. Vietnam's first coastal economic zone (established 20+ years ago), Chu Lai hosts 14 industrial parks across 3,400+ hectares plus 1,145 hectares under development. Budget revenue reached VND 63,624 billion in 2024—the province's highest ever.
The Truong Hai automotive mechanical industrial park expansion (VND 8,000 billion) started in 2025. Chu Lai Port launched direct routes to India and the US in 2024. The airport expansion targets 10 million passengers annually; Indian conglomerate Adani explores investment with Vietjet. A 223-hectare duty-free zone is planned for logistics, electronics assembly, and light industry.
Hoi An and My Son Sanctuary anchor cultural tourism; Hoiana resort contributed VND 1+ trillion to state coffers over two years, employing 3,000 workers. The province hosts 205 FDI projects ($6.3 billion registered) and 1,177 domestic projects (VND 230 trillion). VinaCapital committed $1 billion. By 2026, integration with Da Nang's FTZ model tests whether merged governance can accelerate both industrial and tourism growth.
