New products hoped to drive HCM City’s night economy

A new night food street, to make its debut in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 7 on August 30, is expected to be a new driver for the development of the city’s night economy.

The new nightlife zone, Sky Garden, in District 7, will span 2.6 hectares and include 222 businesses in food, wellness, commerce, and accommodation.

It will operate daily from 6 pm to midnight, offering a wide range of entertainment, health care, and nighttime shopping activities.

The food street will not be pedestrian-only, allowing normal traffic circulation.

Other districts in Ho Chi Minh City are also taking measures to speed up night economy development.

The People’s Committee of District 1 is submitting a project on the implementation of some night economy development orientations and solutions to the municipal People’s Committee. It defines that the district’s main nightlife products are food, film screening and sports.

The city’s tourism sector is considering the re-assessment of products, and proposing no time limit for the night economy, instead of midnight or 2am./.
