What Vietnam’s New Megacity Means for Travel, Tech & You

Discover how the formation of Vietnam’s largest city—Greater Ho Chi Minh City—will change travel, startups, and green growth across Southeast Asia.

🚀 Welcome to Greater Ho Chi Minh City: The New ASEAN Powerhouse

What happens when you combine:

• The cultural dynamism of Saigon

• The industrial engine of Binh Duong

• And the coastal escapes of Vung Tau?
  
  

You get a megacity with muscle—one that’s primed to reshape travel patterns, business ecosystems, and quality of life across Vietnam and beyond.

This isn’t just administrative integration. It’s an open call to connect, build, and thrive regionally.

✈️ For Travelers: Easier Combos, Richer Experiences

If you’ve ever been torn between a city escape, a weekend beach trip, or a cultural deep dive—this region now delivers all of it within 90 minutes.

New Possibilities:

• Megacity Weekend Combos: Stay in Saigon, chill in Ho Tram, eat fresh seafood in Long Hai – all in one seamless itinerary.

• Cruise + Culture: Port in Vung Tau, head straight to historic Saigon or the Cu Chi Tunnels.

• Workations Redefined: Co-work in Thao Dien on weekdays, recharge in Binh Chau’s hot springs on weekends.

Dong Thi’s upcoming “Megacity Combos” will be designed exactly for this kind of smart traveler.

💼 For Businesses & Startups: Scale Without Borders

Here’s what the new megacity unlocks:

• B2B Expansion at Lightning Speed: Serve clients from three economic zones without cross-province friction.

• MICE Reimagined: Factory visits in Binh Duong → conference in District 1 → beach team-building in Ho Tram.

• Startup Synergy: Access diverse user bases (urban, industrial, coastal) in one connected market.

Dong DMC is already building new MICE products around this structure—ideal for tech firms, manufacturing giants, and regional HQs.

🌱 For Innovators & Eco-Travellers: Green and Connected is the New Premium

Vietnam’s megacity strategy isn’t just about size—it’s about sustainability. This region offers:

• Protected marine zones and forest reserves

• Renewable energy pilots in industrial parks

• Local artisans and wellness communities waiting to be part of curated, responsible tourism experiences

Dong Thi is crafting luxury travel that celebrates this green transformation—from indigenous crafts to eco-retreats hidden in the hills.
