Between 2010-2014, the central and provincial authorities conducted feasibility studies to develop infrastructure and facilities to make the cave a significant tourist attraction, while still ensuring local villages have access and benefit from tourist visits. Further development of Chom Ong Cave occurred between 2015 and 2021 through the GMS-Tourism Infrastructures for Inclusive Growth Project.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
