Trang An Tourism Company has pledged to remove the illegal construction on the UNESCO world heritage site of Trang An Landscape Complex, the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee said on Tuesday.

The committee's vice chairman, Dinh Chung Phung, said that the company has sent a letter saying that they will remove the illegally built walkway on Cai Ha Mountain which lies inside the Trang An Landscape Complex.

"They promised to remove the construction within a month from March 30 to April 30," Phung said. "The company also pledged to ensure safety and cause no damage to the heritage site."

Trang An Tourism Company built a 510-metre-long walkway with many concrete pillars and nearly 1,000 steps which was opened during the 2018 Tet holiday. The company also opened a waterway to Luon Cave without permission.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism have asked to remove the illegal construction at a recent meeting with authorities in Ninh Binh Province.

Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex was recognised as a UNESCO's World Heritage Site in 2014. Two year later, the prime minister approved the construction planning which banned construction at Cai Ha Mountain.
