The national park, is expanding tourism services while prioritising the conservation and promotion of historical and cultural assets through integrated visitor experiences, according to a representative from the park’s management board.
Part of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, the UNESCO-listed site is known for its geological and biodiversity value as well as its wartime legacy, with sites of strong educational significance.
Prominent sites along the legendary Route 20-Quyet Thang include Ca Roong-ATP, Tra Ang, a memorial temple to fallen soldiers and a cave honouring eight youth volunteers. Other locations such as Hang Y Ta, Xuan Son and Nguyen Van Troi ferry terminals, Phong Nha Cave and Ba Thang Pass are linked to wartime resilience and sacrifice.
Beyond their historical value, these sites are being integrated into experiential tourism. At the Legendary Truong Son Trail-Command Cave site, visitors can view exhibits, archival footage and VR360 simulations of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
According to Truong Thanh Khai, deputy head of the park’s management board, the relics are both wartime testimony and valuable assets for sustainable tourism, with conservation aligned to visitor demand for learning and exploration.
In the coming period, the park will continue implementing its 2021–2030 eco-tourism, resort and recreation development plan, while developing new products focused on community-based, historical and cultural tourism to diversify offerings and strengthen destination appeal.
Today, sites within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park serve as places of remembrance and spiritual tourism, attracting domestic and international visitors while promoting heritage and historical awareness.
