Tourist Facilities Upgraded at Kuangsi Waterfall:

Luang Prabang's Provincial Tourism Department PTD sank 400 million kip into repairing and rebuilding facilities at the popular Kuangsi Waterfall, which had been damaged by tropical typhoons, to better serve the site's increasing number of visitors.

Luang Prabang PTD Director Khampouy Phommavong told the Khaosan Pathet Lao (KPL) Newswire that the main gate and 45-meter-long Bailey bridge to the waterfall have been rebuilt.

He added, "This year is Visit Laos Year 2012 and the Tourism Division of Luang Prabang Province will further develop tourist destinations in 12 districts to attract both domestic and foreign visitors, and encourage domestic tourists to buy tourism services or products under the slogan "Laos visit Laos" to strengthen and ensure the sustainability of tourism in the country."
