Laos prepares two sites for world heritage listing
Laos expects to make a submission to Unesco for world heritage listing of the Plain of Jars in northern Xieng Khuang province as well as Phou Hin Nam Nor in central Khammuan province next year. Officials from the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment, and Khammuan provincial authorities met last week in the province to discuss works prepared to submit the proposal to Unesco for listing Phou Hin Nam Nor as Laos’s first world heritage site based solely on its natural charms.
