Foreign tourists will have a chance to witness a landmine deactivation mission in Cam Lo district of the central province of Quang Tri.

It was co-organised by the Norwegian-funded project Environment and Neutralizing the Effects of the War (RENEW) and the Vietnam Backpackers Hostels.
The explosives are inside a hole in the field, with a warning sign. From a distance of about 300 metres, foreign tourists can observe safety procedures and the guidance of the captain.

During the trip, tourists will also visit a showroom of the explosive consequence remedy centre and meet with mine victims. They will also be given debris to take home.
