Lao Govt draws up plan to protect Bolaven Plateau
The government is creating a plan to preserve the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos as an agricultural area and a tourist destination, putting an end to companies’ hopes to set up heavy industry plants in one of the most fertile areas of Laos.
The National Economic Research Institute, which is in charge of drawing up the plan for the development of the plateau, said this week it was finalising the plan and hoped to get a final endorsement from top government leaders in the near future.
