HCMC, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 March 2026 - Southern Vietnam consistently stands out as one of the country's most dynamic gateways for international travelers. Anchored by Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's economic and financial nucleus, this region benefits from year-round tropical weather and a richly diverse marine ecosystem, positioning it as a natural tourism hub. In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City recorded the highest visitor volume nationwide, welcoming over 53.5 million arrivals, including approximately 8.5 million international tourists. Yet, a persistent paradox remains. Despite its status as the country's primary entry point, the city largely functions as a transit node rather than a destination where visitors choose to linger. Many travelers stay only briefly before continuing to established coastal destinations such as Vung Tau, Phu Quoc, or Phan Thiet. Ho Chi Minh City has yet to fully evolve into a tourism ecosystem capable of sustaining extended stays. The limitation is not solely due to the absence of large-scale, destination-defining developments, but also stems from a more fundamental constraint, connectivity infrastructure. For years, the southern region's interprovincial transport network has developed unevenly, resulting in prolonged travel times and ......read more

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 March 2026 - Wind power and photovoltaic energy are reshaping China's energy landscape. As of March 2025, the combined installed capacity of wind and solar power nationwide has exceeded 1.48 billion kilowatts, surpassing thermal power in terms of total installed capacity in history.
