in the community tourism. The hamlet has established a community tourism
cooperative that focuses on preserving the cultural identity, reviving the
traditional crafts, protecting the ecological environment, and developing the
distinctive tourism products to effectively utilize tourism resources and
attract domestic and international visitors.
Especially with the attention and support of the
province, Mo Hamlet community tourism has met the conditions to be recognized:
it has tourism resources; the necessary infrastructure and services to ensure
serving tourists; social security and order; and environmental protection...
This contributes to promoting the safe and sustainable exploitation and
investment development of the Community Tourism Site.
