REFTEL:  A) 05 HCMC 1118; B) 05 HCMC 1092 
 
1. (SBU) During a meeting with the Consul General in HCMC on 
February 7, Quang Nam People's Committee Chairman Nguyen Duc Hai 
expressed his concern about the lack of national environmental 
planning and a weak environmental disaster alert and response 
system.  He was concerned about the potential impact of an 
environmental incident on the tourist sector -- the crown jewel 
of Quang Nam's development strategy.  This point was driven home 
by the lack of advance notification and coordination on an oil 
spill that washed ashore on Quang Nam's and other Central 
Vietnam beaches in early February.  (According to press reports, 
the oil spill, whose source has not yet been determined, forced 
the closure of many beaches along the Central Vietnam coast, 
including in the resort town of Hoi An in Quang Nam.) 
 
2. (SBU) According to the Chairman, the first inkling the 
provincial government had of the spill was from fishermen, who 
reported something amiss at sea.  The Central Government was 
"passive," according to the Chairman, and only belatedly 
provided any instruction to the province on the spill, well 
after the province had mobilized local resources to collect the 
oil from its beaches.  The Central Government told the province 
that it would have to shoulder the cost of the clean up.  The 
Chairman said that the clean-up was made more difficult by the 
fact that the province had no experience or adequate equipment 
to tackle environmental mishaps.  He said he planned to send a 
request to international organizations and foreign missions to 
seek assistance and training on environmental protection and 
disaster response issues. 
 
3. (SBU) Tourism centered around China Beach and the UNESCO 
world heritage site of Hoi An is central to Quang Nam's economic 
development strategy.  Starting from virtually zero in the early 
1990s, the province now has 3,000 hotel rooms and is planning 
many more, the Chairman said.  In 2006, the province received 
1.6 million visitors, of which 800,000 to 900,000 were 
foreigners.  The completion of the coastal highway linking Hoi 
An to Danang -- with its international airport -- will 
accelerate further the development of the tourist industry in 
the province. 
 
4. (SBU) The Chairman said that the province also continues to 
look to the development of the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone 
(reftel), which the U.S. built airfield, to anchor the 
development of the southern end of the province.  The province 
hopes to develop Chu Lai as a tourist destination and a regional 
hub for the services sector.  Vietnam's Aviation Administration 
will issue approval for a BOT  project to renovate Chu Lai 
aiport soon, the Chairman said, and is keen on U.S. investors. 
The province will then begin the process of revising its master 
development plan and try and get the airport project underway. 
 
5. (SBU) The Chairman acknowledged that the province's vision 
for Chu Lai was at odds with neighboring Quang Ngai province, 
which is developing Dung Quat (which shares the same bay with 
Chu Lai) as a petroleum refinery, heavy industry and 
shipbuilding zone.  The Dung Quat/Chu Lai area had good 
development potential but the two provinces development 
strategies needed to be harmonized, the Consul General said. 
Chairman said he recognized the challenge and was planning to 
meet with his Quang Ngai authorities to try to press them to 
ensure that the environmental standards for Dung Quat are 
adequate to protect Chu Lai and other tourist resorts in Quang 
Nam. 
 
 
 
6. (SBU) Bio notes: This was our first meeting with Chairman 
Hai.  He was promoted to provincial chairman in August, 2006. 
(His predecessor, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, is now Principal Deputy in 
the GVN's Government Office.  Phuc is rumored to be in line for 
promotion to head of the Government Office.)  Hai, 45, appears 
to be soft-spoken but frank.  He has a Masters Degree in 
finance.  He directed the provincial Finance Department before 
being promoted to the provincial People's Committee.  Like his 
predecessor, he expressed strong interest in working closely 
with the Consulate on a range of social and economic issues and 
in creating the best possible environment for foreign and 
domestic private investment.   End Bio Notes.
