313 Vientiane Nelamit @ Dongphosy Specific Economic Zone (53 Ha) in Vientiane, Laos
Dongphosy Specific Economic Zone (DSEZ), commercially known as “313 or Vientiane Nelamit” is a 53.9 hectares development project of UPL Lao (Universal Pacific Limited Lao). UPL Lao is the sole holding company for the Vientiane Nelamit for a concession period of 50 plus 40 years in partnership with the Lao government and is the nation’s first Boutique Commercial Duty Free Zone. The project components planned include an Electronic Gamin Centre, Duty Free Shopping, International Class Hospital, Shopping Mall, Hypermarket, Trade Expo, Hospitality and Residential.
313 site lies immediately adjacent to the Vientiane Thanaleng station where the High Speed Rail from Yunnan, Kunming comes directly through Lao PDR, converting it from a land locked country into Land Free country. From Kunming, the HSR travels through Boten in the north, Luang Prabang in the centre and finally into Vientiane next to 313 before crossing the border into Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Earmarked as a 1 Belt 1 Road project, naturally it attracts many Chinese congolomerates to set up here to take advantage of the special low tax regime provided by Dongphosy.
