The whole commune has more than 30 households participating in tourist service activities. Mr. Mua A Chinh in Ho Si Pan village shared: In recent years, I have regularly participated in training courses on community tourism development. Since the beginning of the year, I have participated in 2 training courses. Thanks to that, the villagers and I know how to organize activities to serve tourists, such as: accommodation, food and drink, experiencing local culture, selling souvenirs... to meet the increasing needs of tourists. We will continue to preserve and promote the unique cultural values of the community, focusing on protecting the environment to attract tourists". Efforts to develop community tourism in Pu Sam Cap have initially had positive results. The number of visitors coming to visit and experience has increased every year. In the first 10 months of 2024, the whole commune welcomed more than 350 visitors, including 95 visitors from outside the province. Although the number of visitors is not too large, this is also a good sign for tourism development in the highland commune of Pu Sam Cap. The homestay model, catering services, sightseeing... not only creates conditions for families to have more income but also maintains ancillary industries such as farming, animal husbandry and handicrafts. Ms. Giang Thi Pa in Ho Si Pan village confided: "Since participating in community tourism activities, my family has had a stable income from accommodation services and selling brocade products, corn wine - local specialties. Tourists are very fond of it, buying it as a gift and enjoying the experience of village life". However, developing community tourism in Pu Sam Cap still faces many challenges. The transportation system to tourist destinations is still limited; there are not many forms of promoting the commune's image on the media, especially digital platforms, leading to a lack of dissemination to many tourists inside and outside the province. Clearly identifying that, the commune is implementing measures to improve traffic infrastructure; coordinating with tourism businesses and media agencies to develop a strategy to promote the local image. Promoting digitalization and application of information technology to attract more tourists, affirming its position on the tourism map of Lai Chau .Manh Hung
