Mai Chau district is known as the address of community tourism attracting many tourists. In previous years, the community tourist destination was concentrated in Pom Coong village, Van village (Mai Chau town), Lac village (Chieng Chau commune) with traditional stilt houses of Thai ethnic people. Now the community tourism spots are expanded to other communes such as Mai Ha, Van Mai and Na Phon ...

Mai Chau Hideaway Resort in Tan Mai Commune (Mai Chau) is an attractive destination for tourists.

 In order to create favorable conditions for tourists, Mai Chau district has invested in expanding roads connecting the tourist spots. Now tourists can visit Mai Chau by electric cars. Many households have boldly invested capital in food service, relaxation, photography, shopping and so on in tourist areas.

 Mr. Alex, a British citizen who has just paid a visit around by electric car, says "This is the first time I have come to Mai Chau. My first feeling is that people here are very friendly, the air is fresh and it is very close to the nature. I really like the traditional old stilt houses of the local people, the rustic dishes. Before I came here, I was going to stay for 2 days, but the visit was very interesting and there were many tourist attractions, so I stayed for one more day.”

 Mr. Ha Hien Nhien, the businessman of the homestay in Buoc village, Xam Khoe commune says that the number of tourists visiting Khoe village is increasing day by day. They like to experience long walks, bicycle rides, especially in the forest. We have guests almost everyday.

 Last year, one of the highlights of Mai Chau tourism is that Mai Chau Hideaway resort in Tan Mai commune was inaugurated and put into operation. This is an eco-resort area on Hoa Binh lake having 31 fully-equipped rooms with modern equipment, in which there are 6 bungalows facing Hoa Binh lake.
