With the common goal of turning tourism into a spearhead economic sector, in recent years, the two communes of Tu Le and Cao Pha (old) have encouraged and created conditions for organizations and individuals to build and develop tourism products and accompanying service ecosystems.
Cao Pha Commune (old) has coordinated with KPF - Khau Pha Friends to propagate and mobilize people in potential villages to participate in tourism , introduce and promote to attract tourists. At the same time, the commune also guides people to build tourism products and services in the direction of taking local cultural identity as a highlight, implementing the restoration and development of indigo dyeing to sell indigo-dyed scarves and fabrics; organizing environmental festivals, launching campaigns to plant trees, treat waste, etc.
In Ta Dong village, KoongHill campsite with 13 camping spots was built. Villagers were instructed and trained to operate it. In Ta Sung village, 4 Thai families who wanted to do community tourism were supported by a team of professional architects to design and build, renovate a simple stilt house into a beautiful homestay; trained in cooking skills, housekeeping, and English to welcome guests.
People contributed their efforts and money to build electric lines and flower roads around the village; renovate the bamboo forest to create beautiful landscapes; build a community library, an adventure playground including some traditional ethnic games in the village...
Mr. Luong Van Quan, owner of Quan Pom homestay, Ta Sung village, said: Thanks to the encouragement and guidance from the local government and the KPF organization in doing tourism, my family has learned a lot. My wife and I have become more confident, knowing how to tell guests stories about culture and the village, and how to cook meals that are both culturally authentic and suitable for tourists' tastes. Sometimes my wife also performs traditional dances for tourists to watch.
Now, on average, each year, the family has an income of over 100 million VND from tourism - Mr. Quan shared.
Similarly, in Tu Le commune (old), the movement to clean up the environment before developing tourism was launched, attracting the participation and support of the people. They proactively moved livestock barns away from their homes, planted flower roads, built electric lighting lines, and restored the brocade weaving profession...
Experiential programs such as participating in the rice pounding festival, making banh chung from local Tan sticky rice, learning about the customs and practices of the Thai people are systematically organized by Tu Le Sports and Tourism Cooperative. The natural hot mineral spring is also exploited to develop accommodation services combined with relaxation and health care, bringing relaxation to visitors.
The attention of the political system and the efforts of the people in the commune have promoted tourism development, creating a "golden" land for tourism after the merger. Tu Le now has a fresh mountainous climate; beautiful natural landscape; Khau Pha pass - one of the "Four Great Passes" of the country; a famous paragliding spot in Vietnam and among the top most beautiful paragliding spots in the world; the immense Lim Mong valley of up to 360 hectares; hot mineral springs...
Accommodation - dining - entertainment - check-in complexes have been invested in and built, supplementing the locality with the missing items to develop tourism. Currently, Tu Le commune (new) has 32 accommodation establishments, of which 27 homestays and hotels have met the operating conditions according to regulations; 5 establishments are completing their documents. Every year, the commune welcomes about 200,000 domestic and foreign tourists, contributing to increasing income, improving life and sustainable poverty reduction for the people.
Now, no matter what day of the year, Tu Le has interesting things for visitors to experience such as: bathing in mineral springs, exploring the culture of ethnic minorities, enjoying local cuisine. In particular, at Le Champ Resort, visitors will be provided with high-class resort services according to 4-star standards and freely conquer adventure games such as: climbing cliffs, high ropes, 1.2 km long zip line running through Nam Lung stream... at Aeris Hill amusement park.
Ms. Dinh Thu Huong - Vice Chairman of Tu Le Commune People's Committee said: "In the near future, the commune will develop a plan to build a community tourism development model associated with improving sustainable livelihoods to exploit indigenous cultural values and ensure business efficiency. To do this, it is necessary to have specific research in many areas such as the lives of indigenous residents, culture, typical cuisine, customs, living habits... From there, the commune will do a good job of orienting the core values of the community, preserving and developing cultural spaces to nurture, conserve and promote those values to domestic and foreign tourists".
The merger helps optimize resources, develop synchronous infrastructure and create more attractive inter-regional tourism products and intra-commune tours.
It is known that in September and October this year, Tu Le will organize the Com Festival, Paragliding Festival, promote cultural and artistic activities, folk games imbued with the national cultural identity in the area, serving tourists in the ripe rice season. The commune strives to welcome over 300,000 visitors and achieve revenue of over 100 billion VND this year.
