There have been many efforts to improve transport connectivity in South-East Asia. Strategic location of integrated logistics centers can facilitate transportation, handling, storage and transshipment of goods moving in international trade. The paper proposes to consider additional factors for evaluation of location of logistics centers in addition to the commonly used economic and environmental assessment tools. The paper utilizes the analytic hierarchy process to analyze development of logistics centers in Laos which aims to transform itself into a “land-linked” country from a land-locked country. Location models are developed based on the feedback of related government officials and private sector transport service providers. The results show similarity in final priority ranking of the proposed logistics centers, However, some difference on the weights of the evaluation criteria were noted for the public and private sector model. Finally, some policy considerations are offered for development of freight transport and logistics.
