Quang Binh refused to pay 200 million VND for Son Doong to set a record

The province will not submit documents and pay 200 million VND as required by the World Records Union (WorldKings) for Son Doong to be recognized as one of the 100 most attractive destinations.

Previously, the Vietnam Record Organization sent an email to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park about instructions on preparing documents and a budget estimate of 200 million VND for WorldKings to put the world's largest cave, Son Doong, into the top 100 most attractive destinations in the world.

Specifically, the world record fee paid to WorldKings is 3,200 USD and the press conference fee is about 1,500 USD. In addition, the round-trip airfare for the WorldKings representative from India to Vietnam, the domestic airfare for the WorldKings representative and the Vietnam Record Organization to Quang Binh to present the certificate cost about 4,500 USD.

It is known that, immediately upon receiving the above email, Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park sent a document advising the People's Committee of Quang Binh province not to accept WorldKings' requests, on the grounds that Son Doong has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's largest cave and honored by many other prestigious organizations, scientific magazines, and media agencies.

In particular, up to now, the adventure tour to Son Doong has been fully booked by tourists all over the world for many years, so there is no need for additional certification as an attractive destination from the WorldKings organization./.
