Ly Son district includes two off-shore volcanic islands: Ly Son island (Re isle) and Little island (Bo Bai isle), located in the eastern of Quang Ngai Province, central of Vietnam, covers approximately 9.97 km2of land. Ly Son and surrounding area will be applying to become a Geopark in UNESCO Global Geoparks. The island district is a product of volcanic activity that creates a wide variety of geomorphologyforms: modern marine deposition, marine sediment, basalt flow and volcanic eruptions and other geo-features. As a result of the geosite inventory, together with the assessment of scientific value and additional values (ecology, culture - history, economics, aesthetics), the study was conducted to propose a wide range of geo-products for Ly Son Geopark. The suggested products include: tourist center; interpretation system: introduction, explanation of scientific values and additional values of some geosites: Hang Cau –Chua Hang and Thoi Loi Geosite, To Vo Natural Gate, Bai Tien Geosite – Bo Bai Isle; geo-trail, geo-road, geo-adventure; as well as local products. Geo-products will definitely contribute to support local economic development, appealing tourists and also effectively enhancing the Earth Science education and conservation.
