The discovery of this new cave is a valuable resource in tourism development as well as clarifying the geological and geomorphological value in the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park area.

Currently, the above caves are still in the process of being approached and located. In-depth research is also needed to make correct judgments in preserving and sustainably exploiting natural landscapes.
