Luang Prabang steps up tourism improvement
AUTHORITIES in northern Laos' Luang Prabang province are intensifying efforts to further improve tourism and secure the prestigious Tourism Destination Award from the Green Destinations Organization by finalising key documents and aligning with sustainability evaluation criteria.
Authorities are working to enhance the quality of tourism in Luang Prabang, with the goal of transforming the province into a high-quality, modern destination that is well-connected regionally and internationally by 2029, Lao National TV reported yesterday.
Efforts will continue to focus on addressing recommendations from the Green Destinations Organization, particularly concerning the criteria, conditions, and indicators required for certification as a sustainable tourism destination.
Provincial authorities have urged all relevant sectors to contribute detailed feedback and data to support Luang Prabang's efforts in achieving the certification. The province is hoping to attract at least 2.3 million visitors this year.
