Heavy rains lead to closure at some tourist points in Phong Nha-Ke Bang site
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang Tourism Center will temporarily stop receiving tourists at Phong Nha, Tien Son caves, Chay River, Toi cave, and Nuoc Mooc Spring.
To ensure safety for visitors amid rising floods in the area, the Phong Nha-Ke Bang Tourism Center has to close several tourist points, Le Thanh Loi, director of the center, was quoted by Dan Tri newspaper as saying.
In addition, the Thien Duong (Paradise) cave management board has just announced to stop receiving tourists at this point to ensure safety for visitors. The Phong Nha-Ke Bang Center and Thien Duong cave management board will update to tourism companies and tourists when these caves are open again.
Heavy rains after the Son Tinh storm landed on Vietnam have caused flooding, killing and injuring dozens of people in the northern and north central regions, especially in the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, Hoa Binh and Yen Bai over the past few days.
Preliminary reports by localities showed that as of 11:30am on July 20, serious flash floods and landslides in Thanh Hoa Province and Yen Bai Province caused 21 people dead and missing.
Phong Nha-Ke Bang is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bo Trach and Minh Hoa districts of central Quang Binh province in the north central coastal region of Vietnam. The park is really a paradise for cave explorers. Among the caves here, Son Doong and Thien Duong caves might have hogged the international spotlight.
Quang Binh welcomed over 1.8 million tourists in the first half of 2018, up nearly 17% year-on-year. Foreign arrivals surged by more than 22% with nearly 90,000 visits, according to the provincial Department of Tourism.
