Business uninterrupted as ‘world’s best tourism village’ in Vietnam adapts to floodwaters

Nestled in a valley surrounded by limestone mountains, Tan Hoa Village is often referred to as the flood center of Quang Binh in central Vietnam.

Following heavy rains brought by Storm Soulik last week, 418 homes in the village were submerged, with water levels rising between 1.5 and 2 meters.

The village lies about 75 kilometers from Son Doong Cave, the world’s largest cave, located in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.

In 2023, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) honored Tan Hoa as “The Best Tourism Village in the World” for its preservation and promotion of rural, community-based values, products, and lifestyles, with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability.
