The eco-tourism project at Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve in Hau Giang has been adjusted with a total investment of more than VND526 billion, VND180 billion higher than the initial total investment.

The ecotourism project at Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve (KBTTN) was approved in 2021, with a total investment of 370 billion VND. However, up to now, the project is no longer suitable, and some important contents need to be adjusted to be consistent with the Planning of Hau Giang province, creating conditions for investors to explore and exploit, turning this place into a unique tourism product.

According to the proposed adjustment, the project name is changed to Lung Ngoc Hoang Ecological Tourism and Recreation Project. The project is divided into 6 tourism development sub-areas including: Environmental education and service center; Comprehensive tourism service center; Lung Sen and Lung Lon points; forest park; Lung Ngoc Hoang entertainment and environmental interpretation area; Lung Ngoc Hoang ecological resort.

The total expected investment of the project is more than 526 billion VND (higher than the initial total investment of 180 billion VND), from the provincial budget and socialized capital.

Lung Ngoc Hoang is located in Phung Hiep district, Hau Giang province.

The project adjustment also fully updates new regulations on land and forest exploitation accurately, with the goal of building this place into a sustainable, responsible and professional model, planning each sub-zone for exploiting tourism products suitable for forest conservation and development.

At a recent working session with departments, leaders of Phung Hiep district and Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa, Permanent Vice Chairman of Hau Giang Provincial People's Committee, noted that the assigned agency needs to continue to complete the project within this March to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval of project adjustments.

In particular, it is necessary to clearly identify each sub-area to be exploited in stages, the investment capital of the project and pay attention to adding an assessment of the tourism infrastructure of the whole province, research on tourism product positioning, investment resource structure and have a clear assessment of each stage in a specific manner, with high feasibility, and appropriate implementation time so that when the project is adjusted, it will open up more new opportunities for investors.

Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, covering an area of 2,800 hectares, located in Phung Hiep district, Hau Giang province, is a typical wetland of the West Hau River region, known as the "green lung" of the Mekong Delta. This is a place to preserve unique natural habitats, biodiversity, and habitat for indigenous species, endemic and rare flora and fauna, some of which are listed in the Red Book of Vietnam and the world.

During his working trip to Hau Giang in 2022, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh noted that Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve is a rare asset of Hau Giang province in particular and the Mekong Delta region in general; not only valuable in terms of ecology and nature but also associated with history and revolutionary struggle traditions. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve and protect the primeval forest and forest environment strictly, scientifically and effectively.

The Prime Minister assigned relevant ministries and branches to guide the People's Committee of Hau Giang province to develop an ecotourism project at Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, ensuring the goal of both sustainably preserving nature and the ecological environment combined with reasonable, scientific and effective tourism exploitation, while developing the province's socio-economy in a long-term and sustainable manner.
