More than a year since Decree 86/2018 stipulating foreign cooperation and investment in the field of education took effect, foreign direct investment (FDI) in the education sector has reached 97 million USD, up to October 2019. Experts say that having a large investment capital in this field will create many opportunities for the educational real estate segment to develop stronger in the future.

The trend of urbanization will continue to spread at a high speed, therefore developing national education will become a top priority to improve workforce skills and increase work productivity. At the same time, with a population of over 94 million people and a young population structure, Vietnam has many advantages to develop the education sector.

In HCMC, there are currently over 50 international schools. These schools not only teach children of foreign families living and working in Vietnam but also Vietnamese families who want their children to study at international certification institutions. Previously, most international schools in HCMC received many applications from Vietnamese students, however, due to the State’s regulations, the number of domestic students attending these schools is limited.

 

Since August 1, 2018, when Decree 86/2018 took effect, the limit on the number of Vietnamese students in foreign-invested schools has been increased with a maximum rate of 50% of Vietnamese students, a significant change from the previous limit of 10% for elementary schools and 20% for middle and high schools. "The amendment in Decree 86 has brought a great opportunity for investors interested in building an international school in Vietnam," said by investment consultant Mr. Su Ngoc Khuong. The educational environment in Vietnam requires more quality universities, with internationally recognized degrees and competitive tuition fees. With 41% of the population belonging to the "golden generation" (under 24 years old), the number of rich people and middle-class families is increasing sharply, Vietnamese people will soon be able to pay more for their children's education in exchange to a better educational standard. It is expected that the demand for higher education in Vietnam will remain high in the near future.

Vietnam has young and abundant human resources, cheap labor costs, and increasingly improved human resources are the factors that attract many large companies and corporations to set up factories here. The number of young Vietnamese workers who know Chinese, Japanese and Korean is increasing, meeting the job demands of companies. Thus, compared to investment in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, investing in Vietnam will help the business save a large number of costs for personnel.

Vietnam is in a period of industrialization and modernization. Therefore, the industrial sector is also prioritized for development. The system of infrastructure and utilities is increasingly focused on investment, upgrading, and enhancing regional connectivity to help the process of transporting raw materials and goods to the consumer market quickly and conveniently. In addition, the fact that Vietnam joins the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has opened up many opportunities for the development of the industrial real estate market. Through this Agreement, a series of tariffs have been eliminated, and investment licensing procedures have been streamlined, which has brought great effectiveness in attracting foreign investment, helping businesses easily make decisions to place factories in Vietnam. Vietnam also has more opportunities to exchange science and technology with developed countries, thereby transforming from exporting low-value goods to exporting higher-value goods.

HCMC will give priority to the development of investment projects to build new houses, high-rise apartments along major public transport axes (such as metro line No. 1 in Thu Duc City), or areas with the planned implementation of the corresponding technical infrastructure system in 6 developed urban districts including District 7, 12, Binh Tan and Thu Duc City.

Land for resort tourism

Unlike resort real estate, real estate associated with resort tourism is a concept that is extended to more product lines, diverse in both ownership forms and business exploitation capabilities. At the same time, a prerequisite is that the property must be in a quality tourism ecosystem.

If resort real estate defaults to only accommodation products, real estate associated with resort tourism is a new concept. Accordingly, resort real estate is mainly a product line of investment and exploitation of accommodation services. Real estate associated with resort tourism expands to residential urban products (villas, townhouses, apartments) and commercial real estate services (townhouses) developed based on resort tourism.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh – Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, at present, the trend of the world is to develop tourism systems in the form of scale, which means that the larger it is, the more attractive it is to tourists. With many functions, it will best meet the diverse needs of tourists who are increasingly fastidious and always require high quality.
