After 2030, expand the development of ecotourism to all remaining potential points in the planning, ensuring infrastructure, services and tourism products linkages between sub-regions: Ba Hao Lake, Tri An Lake, Be River, core area and islands in the lake.
From there, increasing the total number of tourist points invested and exploited to about 51 points, forming a regional-level eco-tourism area, connecting with Cat Tien National Park, Bau Nuoc Soi-Thac Mai tourist area and eco-tourism centers of Dong Nai province.
Strive to achieve 300,000 - 350,000 visitors/year, revenue over 50 billion VND/year, deploy smart eco-tourism management models, digital transformation applications, digital forest tourism maps, electronic tickets, environmental monitoring using IoT, ensuring 100% of forest area is managed and protected sustainably.
