Cruising around the unique 4,000 Islands, spotting rare Irrawaddy dolphins, watching birds in vast wetlands; highlands studded with coffee plantations, misty waterfalls, Mekong river home-stays, the ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wat Phou, and jungle covered mountains of the Dong Hua Sao and Xe Pian National Protected Areas. These are only few of the outstanding highlights in this southernmost province.
Close collaboration with local villagers as full partners at all levels not only retains their ownership in tourism destinations but also brings them substantial financial benefits in return for conserving nature.
