A TOURISM PLAN FOR NGOC LAC DISTRICT IN THE “NEW NORMAL”

Ngoc Lac is a mountainous district in the West of Thanh Hoa province. The district is 73km away from Thanh Hoa city, a living area of ethnic groups, however, the majority is the Muong people. Traveling along National Highway 15th towards the Sat Mountain, visitors can easily notice traditional stilt houses of the Muong located along streams that run in the middle of beautiful valleys. Ngoc Lac district is not simply a habitation, but also the foundation of Muong people’s traditions and customs, which are still preserved over time.

Being a part of rich traditional culture, the district has spectacular limestone and earth-hills landscapes, and valleys which the Muong minority is living, especially a system of beautiful limestone caves include the Ban Bu, Hum, and Dan caves, which features underground streams and majestic limestone, stalactites and stalagmites formations which are potential attraction site for cave discovery and geo-tourism. Moreover, caves are associated with historical and relics, such as the Lam Son revolution and also an attractions site for historical and cultural tourism. In addition, there are many beautiful valleys and natural lakes associated with local culture which provide unique tourism value.

The integration of culture, landscape, and ethnic minority culture and hospitality enriches the district’s attractiveness which would be used to boost tourism development. However, its charms and cultural richness remain hidden. To advance tourism opportunities for the district and local community as an alternative development option, the Center for Nature Conservation and Development (CCD) is supporting the Ngoc Lac district and Xuan Ngoc Minh Joint Stock Company to strategize and formulate a nature-based tourism development plan for Ngoc Lac district.

In the new tourism plans, CCD aims to integrate pandemics and climate change adaptation options while ensuring that tourism will aid and improve the public’s perception toward nature and biodiversity conservation and be responsible for the mother earth.
