One of the highlights of the beach tourism season this year is the launch of Sam Son Beach Square developed by Sun Group, a major property developer in Vietnam.  With its capacity to house some 10,000 people and a landscape axis measuring 2.6 kilometers long and 120 meters wide, the Sam Son Beach Square is expected to become a leading public space and a festival destination.
