The national park will prioritise sight-seeing and experience tours, community-based and resort tourism. It will also launch new routes of waterway tourism and devise linked travel routes and offer different types of tourism.
To realise the target, the Phong Nha-Ke Bang national park will work to improve existing travel routes, particularly trekking tours in its vast network of caves of Son Doong, Phong Nha – Tien Son and historical sites, among others.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park Management Board has reduced the entrance fee during the holidays and Quang Binh Caves Festival in 2017… All activities have attracted quite large visitors to visit the Heritage.
The route "Conquering Son Doong - the biggest cave in the world" in 2018 will only allow up to 900 guests. Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park Management Board will make great efforts to attract more visitors from 8 to 10 percent compared to 2017.
In 2016, Son Doong Cave, located in the heart of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, was recognised as the largest of its kind by three international organisations, including Guinness (based in the UK), the Association World Record (based in Hong Kong) and WorldKings (based in the US and India).
