The opening of the route has great significance for the development of trade and tourism of the four localities, contributing to further tightening the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. This is the latest initiative in the bid to promote local tourism and boost the economy in the East-West economic corridor and the Greater Mekong Subregions.

Expectedly, the route will pave the way for trade and tourism between the two localities. Tourist agencies of both sides can jointly launch tours from Quang Binh to Laos and Thailand and vice versa. The trilateral development cooperation in the field will create a bigger tourism market that benefits both local people and tourist companies...

Reportedly, the route is a result of a memorandum of understanding on opening an unfixed tourism transport route signed by leaders of the four localities on July 4, 2014, in Khammoune province.
