The French magazine earlier this week released a travel list of nine 'dreamy islands' ideal for a winter excursion, describing Con Dao as a 'must-see gem'.   "Con Dao archipelago includes 16 islands, each more beautiful than the last. Preserving its pristine nature, only a dozen high-end hotels operate in the region," Vogue Paris wrote. "The archipelago boasts a splendid national park with a unique ecosystem," it added. Located in Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, around 230 kilometers (143 miles) southeast of HCMC, Con Dao held political prisoners during the French colonial era, and in later years, the U.S.-installed puppet regime in Saigon, which imprisoned opponents in its infamous cells, or "tiger cages." The former prison is now open to the public as part of a museum tracing Con Dao's history. Today, the island can be reached by air from HCMC, or via helicopter from nearby beach town Vung Tau. Last year, Con Dao welcomed over 286,000 visitors, up 17.3 percent … [Read more...] about Pristine winter hideaway Con Dao in Vogue

Shop&Go became the newest loser in Vietnam’s retail market Monday when it was bought out by conglomerate Vingroup for $1. The company reported an aggregated loss of almost VND205 billion ($8.81 million) by 2016, the latest year for which figures are available. VinCommerce, the retail arm of Vingroup, took over its 87 stores and its debts in the latest deal. Vietnam’s retail market has become increasingly crowded with both local and international players over the last five years. Although experts have said that the market has a lot of growth potential, many businesses have quit or scaling back expansion plans. Coffee giant Trung Nguyen has twice attempted and failed with its G7 Mart and G7-Ministop. Super market chain Saigon Co.op established its first retail store Co.op Smiles in 2016 with the hope of opening 500 such outlets a year, but two years later, the number is around 100. Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart previously said it wanted to have 1,000 stores … [Read more...] about $1 price tag for Shop&Go chain showcases brutal retail market

China Railway Sixth Group Co Ltd. has done well in constructing the line, but it lacks experience in putting the line into commercial operation, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The said at a National Assembly session Wednesday. The contractor was appointed by China according to the terms of a loan agreement beween the two countries, he added. The project can only operate after the Chinese contractor finishes the remaining construction and receives safety certificates for the whole system, he said. In order to evaluate the project safety, the Ministry of Transport has hired a number of foreign consultants, led by a French company. "They can only guarantee the project’s safety if the Chinese contractor provides all the data correctly," the minister said. For these reasons, delays in the commercial operation of Hanoi’s first metro line will likely continue, The said without giving a specific date for the opening. Hanoi’s first metro line is one of five metro projects in … [Read more...] about Inexperienced Chinese contractor responsible for Hanoi metro delays
