Community-based tourism still top choices for holiday-goers

Room capacity is absolutely full

On the early days of the 6–day-off holiday, a succession of buses carried a great number of sightseers to Hon Rom tourist site for playing and sightseeing. Presently, Hon Rom has 10 operational community-based units to adapt the increasing demand of visitors. Due to peak holiday season plus excess demands for accommodation, the room capacity of almost all of the facilities and accommodations is absolutely full from April 27^th to May 2^nd with a room price that is 20 percent higher than usual day. Likewise, other community beaches like Hon Rom, Muine, Ong Dia rocky expand, Doi Duong, etc have their owns attractions to lure more than 18,000 turns of visitors a day on visit, most of them are domestic visitors. According to Ms. Ngo Thi Thu Ha (from Nghe An province) who spent her holiday with her family in Nang Hon Rom resort, the reasonable pricing as well as the eco-friendly landscape make us completely feel satisfied, especially we could see the sunrise by the sea and indulge in pleasure. For her, even though this was her third visit to the locality, she found the local tourism get it on the way to perfect and further develop.

Without rip-offs

Besides sightseeing, beach swimming, vacationers can make the most of local seafood specialties. In the recent years, many community tourism service units have facilitated street vendors to sell food in their precincts with a commitment to providing hygiene foods at reasonable price for customers. It helps to minimize the rip-off and overcharging, gradually forming tourists’ beliefs. The price of on-site- seafood services is a little bit swell (about VND 20,000 per kilogram) against that of usual days. Other reason that always appeals visitors to set food here is special art performance, music, camping programs held by the community-based tourism units.

“My family gets accquainted with spending holidays in Phan Thiet city. Comparing with other places, I’m surely consented and comfortable with the beautiful landscape and well-organized destinations without any fears of swindling or overcharging”, said Mr. Nguyen Huu Minh, a visitor from Ho Chi Minh city. In addition to the stability of social order and security as well as environment and reliable service prices, Binh Thuan tourism sector has previously announced the hot line (0623.810.801; 0623.608.222) and installed some tourist information rotation posts in support of tourists for ease of reference and searching information relating to entertaining, tourist attractions and other services.
