In addition, Oxalis Company has also provided stable jobs for a large number of local people with 1,875 working days, contributing to increasing a source of stable income for locals.

In 2018, Oxalis Company is permitted to officially run new tours through Son Doong Cave, with a time of four days and three nights (reducing one day and a night than the old route).

Participating this new tour, tourists will have a chance to pass the "Great Wall of Vietnam" inside the cave without going back to the old road to exit the cave and make it suitable for tourists so that they feel comfortable and have a lot of interesting experiences.

For the above advantages, the Provincial People's Committee agreed to increase a maximum number of tourists up to 900, contributing to improving turnover and solving more jobs for local people. It also helps popularise and affirms the trade name of Quang Binh tourism to domestic and foreign friends.
