beautiful terraced paddy fields and stilt houses, creating a very tranquil
scene. Visitors can also explore the beauty of nearby Ngo Luong – Ngoc Son
Nature Reserve and the culture of Muong ethnic minority people in nearby
villages, and enjoy wild vegetables and seasonal specialties here.
like
many other destinations, the tourist arrivals to Mu Waterfalls declined
significantly this year due to impacts of COVID-19. But local homestay and
tourism service providers in Tu Do havenot lowered their guard against the COVID-19. Instead, they have urged
visitors to comply with the Ministry of Health’s "5K” message, and provided
them with free masks and hand sanitiser.
Due
to COVID-19, most of the visitors just enjoyed the waterfalls during the day
but not spent the night, said Quach Thi Mai, owner of Suoi Mu 99 Homestay.
"However, our family still fully undertakes COVID-19 preventive measures,
provides our guests with hand sanitiser and masks, regularly cleans rooms and
dining area and disinfects the homestay,” she said.
COVID-19
preventive rules must come first, she said, adding that her homestay wants to
be ready to welcome back visitors whenever the pandemic is put under control. Tu
Do commune currently has 13 homestay service providers that are mostly busy
during weekends, said Bui Van Sum, Vice Chairman of the commune’s People’s
Committee. Local authorities have been cooperating with these businesses to
keep records of staying guests, especially those from other cities and
provinces. The commune has also established Thac Mu tourism service cooperative
to create more jobs and increase incomes for local people./.
