The Project implementation aims to fully identify the contribution of the heritage, including the economic value at present as well as future prospects associated with the vision of a millennium heritage city. The results of the study provide information for the process of issuing decisions in the management of the World Heritage Site of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex and the development plan of Ninh Binh province. The Project will propose necessary policies and actions, creating conditions for the heritage to contribute maximally to the economic development of the province and sustainable national development. Director of Ninh Binh Province Department of Tourism Bui Van Manh informed that identifying and accurately assessing the economic value - world heritage brand of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex not only provides a scientific and practical basis for managing, preserving, promoting sustainable heritage values, raising awareness and community responsibility but also helps to provide orientations and strategies for socio-economic development, solving people's livelihood issues, ensuring harmony between conservation and development. In particular, it is necessary to establish an action strategy for developing heritage economy, tourism economy and creative economy as an important driving force, contributing to realizing the goal of building Hoa Lu - becoming a "Millennium Heritage City", a creative city in the future. Quantifying the economic value of a heritage does not stop at numbers as well as simply being a tool to assess economic value, more importantly, it raises awareness of the value of the world heritage of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. Through this project, the complex values ​​of the overall heritage are deepened, including: Natural ecosystem, historical - cultural value, settlement heritage and brand spreading value. The results of the Project are published internationally in terms of science, thereby creating a basis for UNESCO to connect with prestigious international organizations, jointly announce the overall value of the heritage according to international standards and practices. To successfully implement the Project, Mr. Bui Van Manh suggested that departments, branches, sectors, and local authorities in the heritage area continue to cooperate closely with experts and scientists in research, forecasting, updating information and building plans to preserve, exploit and sustainably develop the heritage. Domestic and international researchers coordinate to research, propose solutions, propose appropriate mechanisms and policies in the management and sustainable exploitation of the outstanding global values ​​of the heritage... Tourism exploitation enterprises in the heritage area strictly implement the regulations and rules on heritage management; Prioritize the development of environmentally friendly tourism products and services, protect the landscape and ecosystem in the heritage site; build corporate culture associated with building the image and brand of the heritage site... At the same time, preserve and conserve the natural environment, develop cultural industry, create a balance between economic development and heritage conservation. Director of Ninh Binh Provincial Department of Tourism Bui Van Manh also suggested that the UNESCO Hanoi Office, the World Heritage Center, UNESCO's consulting agency, and international experts closely coordinate with the Department, the School of Interdisciplinary Sciences and Arts to implement and announce the results of the Project.
