There has been enormous growth in infrastructure. After six years, we now have more access with more borders opened, we give visas on arrival to tourists, many investors are coming in. For other people, it may be too slow. For us, it is appropriate. Last year, we received 160,000 arrivals .
Foreign investors are also more confident about Laos.
The Mekong concept is very appropriate for Laos. People used to say, we are a landlocked country. Now it's more appropriate to say, we are a landlinked country. We have many opportunities for cross-border tourism with improved infrastructure and new borders opening. We want to develop land routes that will link western Laos to the east and vice versa.
