Quy Nhon 2020 construction update

June 30, 2020 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Quy Nhon 2020 construction update

The city of Quy Nhon is a rising tourism destination of the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. Since my last visit in May 2018 there have been many changes, even for a country which is noted for fast changes.

The last time I was here Phu Cat (Quy Nhon Airport) was still a domestic airport. It became an international airport in September 2019. Also new since my last visit was the formation of Bamboo Airways, which is using Phu Cat as it’s main hub. Bamboo are owned by the FLC Group, who have hotels and resorts in Quy Nhon and surrounds. They began operations in January 2019, and plan to operate international flights from Quy Nhon to South Korea and China.

Unfortunately for Bamboo Airways/FLC Group, their second year of operation has been interrupted by COVID-19. This has put Quy Nhon’s rise as an international city on pause while international flights to Vietnam have all but grounded to a halt.

Despite the major downturn in international tourism, construction sites are still busy around the city. On this trip I visited Bai Xep Beach, and from there you can see how the city is bulking up.

Here is a progress report of construction in Quy Nhon as of June 2020. For a complete list of what is planned for Quy Nhon, visit the Future Quy Nhon page.

FLC Sea Tower

The last time I was in Quy Nhon I was staying in a small hotel next to the work site of the FLC Sea Tower. It was looking like it would be finished within a year, so I thought that I should stay there next time.

I was on Agoda trying to find the listing but it wasn’t showing up, even when I looked on map view. It wasn’t showing up because it has stalled.

It’s nearly finished, but there is no indication for when it will restart.

Hoa Sen Tower Quy Nhon

If this gets built then it may become one of my favourite towers in Vietnam. Since my last visit the land has been cleared and boarded up, but no work has started.

I-Tower is actually two towers on a podium that takes up a big city block.

On my visit in 2018 the block was empty and it appeared to have stalled.

In 2019 it was announced that the Pullman brand would share the tower, and at the time of my visit the finishing touches were being added to the building.

I walked by this site in 2018, and it was just a muddy hole in the ground at that point.
