(VAN) Developing Ecotourism in Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park - Lam Dong province will create a sustainable financial mechanism to serve natural conservation.

On April 7, Biodiversity Conservation Component under Sustainable Forest Management and Biodiversity Conservation Project coordinated with Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park (Lam Dong province) to organize a consultation workshop on conservation and ecotourism development of Bidoup -Nui Ba National Park. The workshop was attended by representatives from relevant ministries, agencies, localities and 43 enterprises as well as non-governmental organizations.

Ph.D Le Van Huong , Director of Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park said ecotourism development was an important content in the forest management plan.
