Covering over 56,685ha, the EZ in the central province occupies a strategic location bordering Bolikhamsai Province in Laos, with direct access to key transportation routes in Vietnam’s north central region.

Authorities of central Ha Tinh province has announced a
revised master plan for the Cau Treo International Border Gate Economic Zone, a
move expected to unlock major opportunities for commercial real estate,
logistics, services, and urban development in the province’s western border
region.

The plan was approved by the Prime Minister in March, 2026.

Covering more than
56,685 hectares across Son Kim 1, Son Kim 2, and Son Tay communes, the EZ
occupies a strategic location bordering Bolikhamsai Province in Laos, with
direct access to key transportation routes in Vietnam’s north central region.

At the heart of the project is a 23,411-hectare core area,
designated for nine functional subzones focused on trade, services, logistics,
tourism, agriculture and forestry, industry, and urban development. The zone is
expected to serve as a foundation for future service-oriented urban areas,
logistics hubs, and cross-border commercial complexes.

The revised plan is divided into two phases, with short-term
targets through 2030 and a long-term vision to 2045. Authorities aim to
transform Cau Treo into a modern, dynamic international border economic zone
and a major regional center for trade and cargo transit.
