The German government has announced it would put €$1.8-million (US$2.6 million) towards building an environment-friendly tourism site at Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
The German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) will support the Quang Binh Province project with the non-refundable aid through 2010, according to the plan signed by GTZ and provincial authorities in Hanoi on Friday.
GTZ has provided technical assistance to Vietnam since 1993. It is supporting some 20 projects and programs focusing on sustainable economic growth, environmental protection and healthcare in Vietnam.
Phong Nha - Ke Bang was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998.
The park is home to one of the world's two largest limestone karsts and includes several hundred caves.
