Key areas of focus will include assessing land suitability for sustainable tourism development, evaluating investment needs for water basin tourism infrastructure, planning for facilities and comprehensive tourism services, exploring compensation mechanisms and relocation plans for affected residents (in cases where private land, crops, or buildings fall within the project area), and developing a strategic and inclusive project design.
This feasibility study is a vital step toward the sustainable development of a natural tourist destination that enhances the local economy while preserving environmental and social values.
