After nearly 20 years of development, economic zones such as Vung Ang (Ha Tinh), Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa), and Dong Nam (Nghe An), along with industrial parks in the North Central region, have become attractive destinations for both domestic and foreign investors, making significant contributions to local socio-economic growth.

In 2025, the global situation continued to be volatile, affecting the socio-economic development speed of localities. However, thanks to proactively and flexibly implementing solutions to nurture revenue sources and ensure the production and service chain, the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh all exceeded their budget revenue targets.

In the first month of the first Lunar Year, travellers from across the country, often follow tours to the upland areas of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh Provinces.
