The Quang Binh provincial People’s Committee has issued Document 2019/UBND-KGVX agreeing to allow the Oxalis Adventure Tours Company to continue operating tours to the world’s largest cave.
Specifically, it allowed the company to continue to be the unique unit running the tours, in accordance with the contract with the Management Board of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park from 2015 to now.
