Additionally, Dong Nai has favorable conditions with five modes of transportation (air, road, river, sea, and rail), a comprehensive port system, and strengths in developing logistics, high-tech industry, services, and tourism. To attract investment, provincial leaders regularly engage with foreign direct investors (FDI) to promptly address any difficulties or obstacles they encounter.
