Continuously delayed Ha Tinh greyhound track nears opening


During a meeting on work for 2019 held by the Ministry of Planning and Investment on January 16, Dang Quoc Khanh, chairman of Ha Tinh People's Committee asked for help to open a greyhound race track in the area to attract tourists to Ha Tinh.

According to Ha Tinh authorities, the Xuan Thanh Greyhound Track was completed two years ago but couldn't go into operation yet due to lack of prime ministerial approval for the investment permit and business license by the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

The Government Office has also asked relevant agencies to provide opinions on the proposal to add the track to the master plan for socio-economic development of Ha Tinh Province.

Xuan Thanh Greyhound Race Track was given an investment permit back in May 2007. It covers 29,343 square metres of land and cost VND300bn (USD13m). The track’s investors were given a 49-year operation permit as long as they can gain the required permits for organising dog racing and betting.
