The search team of 10 people, including Hoang Lien National Park rangers, Ta Van Commune Police, security forces and forest protection team members, tried to approach the tourists.

At 11:00 p.m. on October 17, the working group reached the tourist, performed first aid, and brought him out of the forest safely.

Two lost tourists, Ms. MC and Mr. HF (Austrian nationality), were visiting the special-use forest area without permission from the forest owner.

At the time of being found, the tourist could not present legal documents related to tourism activities in the forest.

Relevant units have drawn up records, disseminated information, and reminded tourists about violations of legal regulations in tourism activities and special-use forest protection, and handled the case according to current regulations.
