Voters from Long Hai Commune also noted that the locality plays an important role in Ho Chi Minh City’s coastal urban development orientation. However, transportation connectivity remains limited, with frequent congestion on National Highway 51, affecting both residents’ travel and tourism activities.

They therefore called for faster progress on key transportation projects, especially Bai Ngang Road, the coastal road and public transport systems linking Long Hai with central Ho Chi Minh City.

Better transport connectivity would help fully realize the potential of marine tourism and promote sustainable local economic development.

In addition, many voters proposed that coastal tourism planning be reorganized in a more professional and modern direction while preserving local cultural identity. Dinh Co Festival, a spiritual and cultural highlight of Long Hai Commune, should receive greater investment and be organized more systematically to further promote the locality’s cultural and tourism values.
