Quang Binh will reduce entrance fees by 20%- 50% to all tourist attractions and routes in 2021, including “Conquering Son Doong – the largest cave in the world” tour.

Tourism businesses in the province will also put into operation new tourism products and will offer promotions and discounts from 10% to 30%, with commitment to ensuring safety for tourists and paying attention to prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic./.
