Mai Linh Group to build more than 100 rest stops
Leading local taxi company Mai Linh Group (MLG) announced plans to build 106 rest areas throughout Vietnam at a press conference Thursday.
MLG General Director Ho Huy said each rest stop would offer parking, restrooms, gas stations, shopping and food.
Internet services may be provided at certain locations depending on demand, he said.
The rest stops will be built along national highways and at border gates with China, Laos and Cambodia.
MLG will train local residents to be employed at the rest areas’ shops.
Residents will also be invited to sell local specialties and food at the rest areas, said Huynh Bao Khuong, head of MLG Business Development Department.
Huy said PetroVietnam Construction Joint-stock Company would share half of the project’s cost.
Work on the first two rest stops began last year at the Lao Bao rest stop in the central province of Quang Tri and Ca Na Beach in Ninh Thuan Province, part of south-central Vietnam.
Construction of both sites is due to be completed soon.
MLG is one of Vietnam’s leading providers of taxi and transport services and has branches in Cambodia.
