back.
According to Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Pham Van Phong, the
commune has carried out the project "The Thai people develop tourism” for
years, and it helps the locality to tape its tourism and culture potentials.
A dancing and singing organisation was set up with 12 artists who are able to
deliver xoe dance and sing Thai songs, he added.
Currently, there are 20 homestays in Buoc Village, which is quite close to such
popular destinations as Bao La, Cun Pheo, Hang Kia and Pa Co. However, Buoc
village is a more favourable place since visitors have an opportunity to find
out local rice cultivation practice.

district a couple of times, she wanted to come back Buoc village to enjoy fresh
air and local culture, as well as indulge herself in the simple life here.

In addition, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU, dated October 17, 2022, on building the highland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourism areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050.
