The Resolution of the 16th provincial Party Congress identifies tourism as a key economic sector, with Moc Chau to be developed in a green and sustainable direction.

At the workshop, leaders of the Moc Chau ward People’s Committee, representatives of enterprises, tourist sites, and households engaged in community-based tourism discussed and contributed many consultative opinions. These provide a basis for Son La province in general, and the People’s Committees of communes and wards within the Moc Chau National Tourist Area in particular, to continue providing direction and to develop plans, strategies, and solutions to guide the development of the Moc Chau National Tourist Area and Son La tourism in line with their potential and advantages.

In his closing remarks, the Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee requested agencies, units, local authorities, associations, and tourism enterprises absorb the opinions and develop specific programmes and solutions to promote the development of Son La tourism and the Moc Chau National Tourist Area in a safe, attractive, and sustainable manner; focus on upgrading distinctive tourism products, expanding markets, strengthening linkages, creating brand highlights, and at the same time supporting and addressing difficulties faced by tourism enterprises.
