This enhanced connectivity is also expected to boost local tourism, making the province’s natural wonders more accessible to visitors. Tourists can now reach the province’s breathtaking sites with greater ease, including the world-famous Biri Rock Formation, a geological marvel renowned for its stunning rock sculptures and clear waters.
