Communication and transport
Tay Ninh has two main road axis : Trans-Asia and 22B highways. The Trans-Asia highway was completed in late 2003, crossing 18 km of Tay Ninh and linking Ho Chi Minh City with Cambodia by Moc Bai border gate. The 22B highway running North to South is being upgraded to four-lane road. From now to 2010, the two networks: North-South and East-West together with district and urban roads will be upgraded with some VND5,000 billion.

Ben Keo river port on the Vam Co Dong river, 7 km from Tay Ninh town can receive ships of 2,000 DWT. Trang Lon military airfield (Thai Binh commune, Chau Thanh district) can be restored with runway of Grade 4-5, 25-30 m wide and 1,000 m long to receive 50-70 seats planes. A helipad can be built on Ba Den mountain top to develop tourism.

Tay Ninh Province to Make a Breakthrough in Investment Attraction
In spite of facing numerous difficulties in recent years, Tay Ninh Province could maintain its high economic growth rate with annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 14 per cent. The province specifies that the investment capital is a decisive factor to raise socioeconomic growth rate, create jobs and heighten living standards for the people’ thus, it introduces many investment incentive policies to mobilise available resources of all economic sectors.
In the period from 2001 to 2005, Tay Ninh spent VND13,122 billion (US$820 million) on socioeconomic development investment, equalling 38.5 per cent of the provincial GDP. The private and foreign economic sectors contributed 71 per cent of the total investment capital. The efficient use of investment capital by the private and state sector and ODA, FDI and AFD sources significantly contributed to the fulfilment of economic targets and the attraction of foreign investment.
At present, the establishment of key industrial zones like Trang Bang and Tram Vang, eight small and medium-sized industrial zones, border economic zones, residential zones and urban zones is creating favourable conditions for Tay Ninh to attract investment projects from all economic sectors.
In the 2006 - 2010 period, the total investment capital in Tay Ninh Province is somewhat equal to 40-41 per cent of its total GDP, or US$850 million. Tay Ninh has outlined plans to increase its incomes by more than 10 per cent a year. The province is calling domestic and foreign investors to invest in key projects in Moc Bai and Xa Mat border economic zones and projects in the fields of tourism, farm produce processing, sugar, manioc and rubber. The locality focuses on investing infrastructure projects related to transport, electricity, telecom and industrial parks as well as improving the quality of such services as finance and labour supply. At the same time, the province continues renovating investment incentive policies and streamlining administrative procedures to draw more investment capital for new projects.
Hopefully, the above measures will create a new energy and momentum to make breakthroughs in the Tay Ninh economy on the threshold of international economic integration.
