The Lao investor is also considering building a landmark shopping center to leverage the growing tourism industry as high-speed trains bring in more tourists and shoppers. Lao Deputy Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Darany Phommavongsa said the high-speed railway has made a significant contribution to facilitating both domestic and international travel, driving robust growth. In the first four months of this year, Laos welcomed more than 1.5 million foreign tourists, an increase of about 35 percent compared to the same period last year, according to industry figures. As the railway makes Laos more attractive to investors and creates new jobs, the World Bank projected that the transport network could potentially increase aggregate income in the country by up to 21 percent over the long term.
