Home to one of Vietnam's richest biodiversity reserves, the Bach Ma National Park is stepping up efforts to transform its unique natural assets into sustainable tourism products while maintaining long-term conservation goals. The park is recognised as one of Vietnam's most biologically diverse protected areas, with a history of scientific exploration and conservation spanning more than a century, closely intertwined with many of the country's important historical milestones. Under the ecotourism, resort and recreation development plan for 2024-2030, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the park will develop 12 ecotourism sites and 14 tourism routes. Tourism activities will be confined to service and ecological restoration zones, while strictly protected areas will remain off limits to recreational development. VNA Photo: Văn Dũng
