Kinhtedothi - Dong Nai Nature and Culture Reserve is considered the "green lung" of Dong Nai province and the entire Southeast region. Dong Nai province has just directed this place to gradually develop and implement a project for eco- tourism , resort and entertainment in a professional manner.

The vast forests of Dong Nai Cultural and Natural Reserve and the gentle Dong Nai River are very suitable for developing sustainable ecotourism.
