The Ba Be Lake Resort Project was granted an investment policy in March 2009 with an area of 20 hectares and an investment capital of 100 billion VND, expected to come into operation in 2013. However, up to now, the project land is still just an empty lot. According to Inspection Conclusion No. 01/KL-TTT dated April 16, 2025 of the Ninh Thuan Provincial Inspectorate, Son Hai Joint Stock Company has committed many serious violations. Specifically, after being leased 37,917m² of land, the investor did not implement the project as committed but continuously requested to adjust the investment certificate (4 times in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017). Although the form of land allocation was adjusted to land lease and enjoyed the policy of exemption and reduction of land rent, the project was still not implemented.
Notably, the investor also arbitrarily agreed to transfer 10.1 hectares of land from local people to build another tourist area called Tanyoli. This Tanyoli tourist area is outside the original boundary of the Ba Be Lake project and has not completed legal procedures on land and construction, but Son Hai Joint Stock Company has organized tourism business activities here. The provincial inspectorate affirmed that Son Hai Joint Stock Company did not carry out any construction on the land leased by the State, violating Point g, Clause 1, Article 48 of the 2014 Land Law (now Clause 8, Article 81 of the 2024 Land Law). The main reason was determined to be that the investor lacked financial capacity, was unable to mobilize capital, and lacked understanding of investment, land, and construction laws.
Based on these violations, the Provincial People's Committee issued a notice to reclaim an area of 37,917m² of land in Phuoc Dinh commune (Thuan Nam), which had been leased to Son Hai Joint Stock Company under Decision No. 491/QD-UBND dated October 31, 2011. The reason for the revocation was "violation of land law, falling under the case of land revocation as prescribed in Point i, Clause 1, Article 64 of the 2013 Land Law, now Clause 8, Article 81 of the 2024 Land Law".
According to the law, Son Hai Joint Stock Company will not be compensated for the assets attached to the land and the remaining investment costs on the land. The company has 45 days to handle the assets on the land before the province makes an official decision to reclaim it. If it does not comply, the locality will enforce it according to the regulations.
The inspection conclusion also pointed out the responsibilities of state management agencies. In the process of implementing project management tasks, the agencies did not have a common consensus to assess the overall situation, leading to a lack of definitive solutions. The provincial inspectorate recommended that the provincial People's Committee direct relevant agencies to learn from experience, correct errors and clarify the responsibilities of individuals and project staff. At the same time, Son Hai Joint Stock Company was required to terminate all project activities, voluntarily return the land and resolve related rights and obligations according to the law.
