The economic center of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is segmented into twenty-four urban and rural districts, with an official population of 8 million. The city's Central Business District is identified as District 1 and the bordering areas of District 3. District 1 is where most governmental and corporate entities are headquartered, and its history-laden streets are the main appeal to visiting tourists.
With improving infrastructure in the outer districts, commercial and residential interests have gravitated towards newly-developed, decentralized zones, such as District 7 and District 2, which provide a better quality of life, more security and better accommodations for their inhabitants.
Outside of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's southern region also boasts a variety of unique leisure destinations, favored for their natural and cultural attributes. From the French Colonial hill station of Dalat to the sandy beaches of Phan Thiet and Con Dao Island, Indochina Land has invested in key assets in the southern region, capitalizing on the country's burgeoning tourism market.
