The listing not only brings pride to the locality but also reflects international recognition of sustained efforts to protect and restore the park’s unique forest-marine ecosystems, among the country’s most valuable natural assets.
More than 2,300 foreign tourists have booked
rooms at hotels and resorts this month on Con Dao Islands off the
southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau, up 35 per cent year-on-year,
according to the Con Dao District tourism authorities.
With their pristine seas, the Con Dao Islands are
home to a large number of sea turtles. Every year, between April and
November, their breeding season, thousands of turtles crawl ashore to
lay eggs in the sand, providing a fascinating experience for visitors...
A ceremony in recognition of Con Dao National Park
as an international wetlands area will take place tomorrow, according to
the People''s Committee of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
