The LaoSafe program was initially rolled out in several areas especially beloved by travelers – including the UNESCO World Heritage city Luang Prabang – and is now expanding throughout other destinations across Laos. An investment in local and national tourism providers, along with Laos' fully open borders and lack of internal movement restrictions, makes the country an outstanding tourist destination.
"The LaoSafe certification program has used the time of Laos' closure to prepare for an influx of tourists post-Covid. "Now that the country is open again, the tourism industry is more prepared than ever to welcome travelers and to establish its reputation as Southeast Asia's premier destination", said Mme Darany Phommavongsa, Director General of the Tourism Management Department, under the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism.
The LaoSafe program is supported by the Skills for Tourism Project (LAO/029), which is co-financed by the governments of the Lao PDR, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Switzerland, and implemented by the Ministry of Education and Sports of Laos and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.
