On the afternoon of August 17, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of Cuc Phuong National Park said that up to this point (about 6pm), the male tourist who has been missing in Cuc Phuong National Park in recent days has not been found.
Despite the rainy weather, to speed up the search, the authorities mobilized more police dogs from Ninh Binh Provincial Police and nearly 100 people from other forces.
In addition, the search will expand to Thanh Hoa and Phu Tho (old Hoa Binh).
As Lao Dong reported earlier, the lost tourist was identified as Nguyen Quoc Manh (33 years old, residing in Hai Phong). During the garden visit, Mr. Manh lost contact and was confirmed missing.
Initial information, before that, on the afternoon of August 13, Mr. Manh went to the Bong area, the most remote tourist destination from the garden gate with a distance of 20km and went sightseeing alone.
