Investment Conference in the Mekong Delta in 2017 is a large-scale economic event in the field of trade promotion investment, with the participation of more than 200 delegates from the major economic groups in investment consultancy, real estate services for tourism, logistics such as Savills, CBRE, Phu My Hung, Akubai, Hoa Binh Construction and Real Estate Company, Vietnam Consulting Group, Habour, Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association.

The Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee, Mr. Truong Quang Hoai Nam said that the infrastructure to develop tourism in the Mekong Delta first to mention was traffic. Particularly, the lack of air routes had caused a decrease in the tourism performance of the region.

Mr. Truong Quang Hoai Nam quoted: "Tourists from Hai Phong want to visit An Giang, first they must go to Hanoi, then fly to Can Tho and finally go to An Giang. If there were a direct flight from Hai Phong to Can Tho, surely more and more tourists would come to An Giang”.

In addition, Mr. Truong Quang Hoai Nam proposed that the development of the waterway system would bring benefits to the unique tourism of the Me Kong River because there was a current lack of connectivity, boats, tourist wharfs in the region’s waterway traffic.

At the 2017 investment in the Mekong Delta conference, the provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta area introduced and called for 78 investment projects with a total investment capital of nearly 160 trillion dong. In particular, there were 33 real estate and tourism projects with a total capital of nearly 7,800 billion VND and other 45 projects related to agriculture, industry, processing, manufacturing and logistics infrastructure with a total investment capital of 150 trillion VND.
