Vietnam heritage conservation and tourism development

Overview

Vietnam is focusing on the preservation and promotion of its natural and cultural heritage sites to bolster tourism and ecological protection.

In the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park region, efforts involve managing diverse biological habitats, including rare coniferous trees and specialized cave ecosystems. The area has been recognized as Vietnam’s 12th World Biosphere Reserve, with officials and UNESCO representatives discussing the expansion of the Man and the Biosphere network.

In Son La province, the government has updated planning for the Son La Prison Special National Monument. The revised plan for the 32.3-hectare site aims to preserve original structures while developing a 4.05-hectare Khau Ca Memory Park. This project, scheduled between 2026 and 2035, includes converting buildings into museums and libraries and proposes relocating nearby households to improve infrastructure.
