India helps Quang Nam preserve My Son SanctuaryThe Indian Government has provided financial assistance worth over 50 billion VND (2.2 million USD) to the central province of Quang Nam to help restore and preserve the world cultural heritage site of My Son Sanctuary, a local official has said. From February this year, scientists and researchers from India have worked with representatives from Quang Nam’s cultural and tourism sector and the management board to conduct research programmes of the site in the framework of the project. Apart from India, UNESCO and the governments of Japan and Poland have also supported Vietnam in the work. The management board has also coordinated with travel agencies to organise activities to attract visitors to the Sanctuary. In 2017, the My Son Sanctuary welcomed 290,000 tourists, up over 10 percent year-on-year, raking in nearly 50 billion VND.
