Indochina Junk - The Management Board of the Ha Long Bay - Yen Tu World Heritage Site is implementing a plan to develop tourism products that meet international standards for submission to competent authorities for consideration. One of the key contents is the Project on ecotourism, resort, and entertainment in the protected special-use forests of Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and Yen Tu National Forest.
Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and Yen Tu National Forest are areas of exceptional value for nature, environmental, and cultural conservation, and play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance.
These special-use forests create a unique ecological space, harmoniously connecting forests, seas, and limestone mountains, contributing to climate regulation, water resource protection, and erosion control. They also form an important ecological belt, contributing to the protection of the Ha Long Bay World Natural Heritage Site and the buffer zone of Bai Tu Long Bay.
In particular, Yen Tu National Forest is also closely associated with the historical, cultural, and spiritual depth of the Truc Lam Zen sect, creating a unique heritage space with special spiritual value within the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son - Kiet Bac World Heritage complex.
According to representatives of the Ha Long Bay - Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board, special-use forests protecting the landscape not only have conservation significance but also serve as a foundation for developing sustainable ecotourism, resort tourism, and nature experiences. Rational exploitation will contribute to diversifying tourism products, creating livelihoods for local communities, and promoting socio-economic development.
In parallel with the ecotourism project, the unit is also developing and submitting to competent authorities for approval a sustainable forest management plan for Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long National Park, and Yen Tu National Forest for the period 2026-2030.
At the same time, major projects such as enhancing the value of the World Natural Heritage site of Ha Long Bay and preserving and promoting the value of the Yen Tu historical site within the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son - Kiet Bac World Cultural Heritage complex are also being implemented.
It is expected that in 2026, the Management Board will continue to finalize the Plan for Sustainable Tourism Development of Ha Long Bay World Heritage Site until 2035, with a vision to 2050.
In addition, coordinate with relevant units to accelerate the completion of infrastructure for waterways, ensuring that 3 sightseeing and tourism routes within Bai Tu Long National Park are ready for operation, and advise on connecting the routes of Ha Long Bay with Lan Ha Bay.
Future development orientations also focus on strengthening regional linkages, connecting tourism in Ha Long Bay - Bai Tu Long Bay - Van Don; and linking Ha Long Bay tourism with the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son, Kiet Bac heritage chain and other tourist areas and destinations in the province.
Besides renewing and improving the quality of existing tourism products, the Management Board will focus on developing new tourism product chains, prioritizing beach and island tourism, ecotourism, high-end resort tourism, and cultural, spiritual, and heritage tourism.
In particular, offshore tours such as Ha Long Bay 3 and Ha Long Bay 4 will be organized and exploited in a scientific and rational manner, ensuring they are compatible with the carrying capacity and sustainable development space of Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay.
