At today’s smart cabinet meeting in Nong Bua Lamphu state, the long-proposed prepare for a cable car up to the Phu Kradueng hill resort in Loei territory will be put forth for discussion, according to PM-Puangphet Chunla-iad on Monday.
According to Ms. Phuangphet, the Loei municipal authority is asking for a resources of 28 million baht for the study and design work on the cable car, which was initially approved in theory by the government of the time between 20 and 30 years ago.
She claimed that the design was required for a report on environmental impact assessment ( EIA ) that would be approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
If the EIA report is approved, it will first be reviewed by the Ministry of Sports and Tourism’s Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration ( Dasta ), before being sent to the cabinet, according to Ms. Phuangphet.
The Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation approved a request to survey the area just in November, which caused the design work to be postponed.
Ms. Phuangphet did not directly respond when asked if there are still organizations opposed to the task. She claimed that because Loei is a holiday territory, Phu Rua and Chiang Khan are not the only places to visit during the winter. She claimed that the state should be appealing to visitors all year long.
” The Phu Kradueng cable car initiative has never been implemented despite being theoretically approved 20 or 30 years ago. As a past Loei MP, Ms. Phuangphet stated that she wanted to see this initiative get off the ground for the residents of the community.
For older people who want to climb to the top of the rock andnbsp in the Phu Kradueng area to get a complete view of Loei city and the mountains, she said the wire car would be an alternative. Not everyone was able to walk the distance.
When questioned about the Phu Kradueng wire vehicles, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai responded that everyone involved should brainstorm and give it some thought. There were still differences of opinion about the project, so cautious reports were required. He claimed that many people were also worried about the economic impact.
When asked if this authorities could carry out the project, Mr. Phumtham replied that it was willing to do so as long as there were no issues. He emphasized that thorough research was required.
The project, according to Sutham Thammachart, president of the Phu Kradueng National Park shop operators group, may significantly increase the province’s tourism industry.
