Con Co Island is located to the East of Vinh Linh district, crossing the 17th parallel about 30 km from the mainland. It is considered one the most beautiful islands of the central region, with an abundant ecosystem and great tourism potential.
The new tour will bring visitors to traditional hall where displays items related to the history of the army and people of the island over the past 55 years, monument Hill 37 commemorating the soldiers sacrificing themselves to protect the island and Ben Nghe (Nghe Wharf) - Mom Ho beach. The local authorities expects to receive 20,000-25,000 visitors to the island by 2020.
