Issuing “passports” for forest visits
The forestry sector’s initiative to develop the multi-purpose value of forest ecosystems is attracting the attention of investors, businesses, and the community. Visiting forests for sightseeing, exploring, and experiencing ecotourism will promote the development of the forest economy, contributing to education and sustainable protection of the natural environment.
This is the first time the “National Park Passport” initiative has been implemented in Vietnam to create a mechanism to promote ecotourism development in national parks and nature reserves. In the initial phase, the “National Park Passport” will be applied at 34 national parks in the special-use forest system that offer tourism activities. Both domestic and international tourists can acquire the “passport” in either paper or electronic form.
