The Con Co Island Marine Protected Area in Quang Tri Province not only plays a vital role in conserving a highly valuable marine ecosystem but is also being developed as a primary catalyst for the blue marine economy, eco-tourism, and sustainable livelihoods.

Cua Tung, Cua Viet and Con Co are facing an opportunity to become a golden triangle of tourism in central Viet Nam. To unlock this potential, Quang Tri needs a different mindset, moving beyond mass tourism towards the high-end segment, where tranquillity, green architecture and historical depth become the defining values of the province’s tourism brand.
