The administration in Phu Quoc, an island city off Kien Giang Province, southern Vietnam, has taken coercive measures to reclaim nearly 28,000 square meters of local residents’ land to make room for an eco-tourism project.

The city said on Thursday that it took back land lots measuring nearly 21,700, 2,300, and 4,000 square meters from residents Phu Thi Dep, Trinh Van Dinh, and Dang Phu Quay, respectively.

The land lots will be used for the Rach Tram high-end eco-tourism and residential area project covering an area of 173.53 hectares.

Dep’s land was attached with three wooden houses, while the land lots belonging to Dinh and Quay were used for plant cultivation.

Houses on Dep’s land were demolished on Wednesday.

The Phu Quoc City administration called on local residents and organizations to carefully learn about the legality of land lots before making transactions.
