Over the past six years, the managing board of the geopark has focused on preserving heritage values, creating unique tourism products, and generating sustainable livelihoods for ethnic minorities in the region.

Luong Van Huan, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Phuc Sen commune, stated that local Nung An ethnic villagers have partnered with the geopark to engage in traditional crafts such as blacksmithing, incense making, and "do" paper production. This collaboration has provided training opportunities to improve product quality and introduce their crafts to both Vietnamese and international visitors, enhancing local awareness of heritage preservation and ecological protection.

Chu Thi Vinh, Vice Chairwoman of the People’s Committee of Trung Khanh district, highlighted that the district is home to over 20 heritage sites within the geopark, including the iconic Ban Gioc waterfall. To attract tourists, the district has organized annual events such as the Ban Gioc waterfall festival and culinary contests, and encouraged investment in tourism services. Trung Khanh now features the Khuoi Ky stone village community-based tourism site, 22 homestays, 22 standard hotels and guesthouses, and 67 folk singing clubs.

Vi Tran Thuy, Director of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang management board, mentioned that the board will advise provincial authorities on infrastructure investments for the four geopark tourism routes in the future. Plans also include training local residents in heritage-based community tourism, and integrating traditional crafts and One Commune One Product (OCOP) items.
