(HBO) - A number of tour organisers and farms in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh have recently developed new tourism forms for pupils, drawing the attention of schools and pupils’ parents.
Pupils are joining sports games that require collective spirit at An Lac Ecofarm and Hot Springs in Vinh Dong commune, Kim Boi district.
Since it was put into operation at the end of 2015, An Lac Ecofarm, which boasts many integrated works and services, has become an ideal and familiar place serving families’ demand for resting. It also provides exciting tourism products attractive to students. Visitors to the site can enjoy and relax at the swimming pool with natural mineral water, and indoor or outdoor sauna rooms.
With its large area, this tourism site has a separate area for organizing collective games. Children are free to play folk games such as flying kites, sliding on grass, walking on stilts, and relaxing on swings.
Another tourist attraction is Linh Dung organic farm in Dong Ngoai village, Vinh Tien commune of Kim Boi district. Located very close to the Vinh Tien V-resort tourism area, the Linh Dung organic farm is a hot tourism site for schools.
The 3ha site enables children to enjoy an atmosphere that is close to the nature, see farmers growing plants and feeding chicken with their own eyes, and join collective games. They also have a chance to learn about characteristics of animals and plants, and experience a day of being a farmer as they participate in weeding, growing vegetables, harvesting, preliminary processing, and packing organic orange and lemon products. These activities help pupils understand more about the farm work.
According to Tran Van Thang, father of a pupil who is studying in the Sao Mai High School (Hoa Binh city), many families usually wonder where their children can play and learn life skills during summer. School tourism destinations are good places for pupils to expand their worldview, understand more about the real life, and explore their own abilities.
