The Moc Chau national tourist site will be built on an area spanning 206,150 ha in the two districts of Moc Chau and Van Ho. It is expected to attract 1.65 million visitors by 2020, and about 5 million by 2030.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has approved a planning scheme to build Moc Chau national tourist site in the northern mountainous province of Son La until 2030.

Various tourism types will be developed in the national tourism site, such as eco-tourism, cultural tourism and resort tourism.

In addition to constructing accommodation establishments and entertainment complex, cultural and historical relics, as well as tourist attractions in the locality will be restored. The province will promote the training of personnel in tourism services and high technology agriculture in the coming time.

Competent agencies will work to improve the local health care system and protect the environment, contributing to climate change response.

Infrastructure for trading activities will also be enhanced in the near future, particularly the Long Sap international border gate.
