GREEN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT LINKED WITH BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN XUAN THUY NATIONAL PARK

Aiming to foster sustainable green and community-based ecotourism, in August 2025, Center for Nature Conservation and Development (CCD), in collaboration with the Management Board of Xuan Thuy National Park (Ninh Binh province), developed a Master Plan for Ecotourism, Leisure, and Recreation Development in Xuan Thuy National Park through 2030, with a vision to 2050.

The plan focuses on identifying and zoning signature tourism sites and routes based on natural conditions, biodiversity values, and local cultural heritage. At the same time, it proposes solutions to attract investment in tourism infrastructure while strengthening the park’s management and monitoring capacity to ensure sustainable tourism development. This approach contributes to enhancing biodiversity conservation and restoring the unique ecosystems of this internationally important wetland area.

CCD will continue to accompany Xuan Thuy National Park in tourism planning, management capacity building, and developing community-based tourism models. These efforts are expected to create stable income sources for local communities, while also raising public awareness of nature conservation and the protection of the Red River Delta’s biodiversity values.
