Authorities in Laos have approved the development of Phu Bia Mountain as a sustainable development tourism site.

According to a report by Vientiane Times, Khamphay Sana Group is to develop new tourism facilities on the Phu Bia Mountain site.

The development will take place in Phou Houa Xang Village, in Anouvong District, Xaysomboun Province, under a 99 years concession.

Development of the site is valued at some USD 500 million, creating tourism activities in line with the Sustainable Conservation of Phu Bia Project.
