This year, Con Cuong district has stepped up propaganda work from very early on, directing functional departments, communes, towns and owners of restaurants, hotels, etc. to fully prepare conditions to serve the needs of tourists visiting during the April 30 and May 1 holidays.

Currently, more than 10 hotels and motels in the area are operating well to welcome guests. Tourist attractions (Khe Kem waterfall, Pha Lai dam, Ta Bo...) have upgraded travel conditions, arranged garbage collection points to ensure environmental sanitation. Youth volunteer teams are mobilized from areas with tourist attractions to be responsible for guiding visitors, maintaining security and order; supporting vehicle parking, guiding visitors and rescuing when requested.

In particular, this year, tourists are more interested in community tourism such as Khe Ran village (Bong Khe commune), Nua village (Yen Khe commune)... In addition to enjoying the arts, when visiting community tourism spots, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in jars of rice wine, directly participate in embroidery, weaving, and cooking traditional dishes of the Thai people. Particularly in Khe Ran village during the 2 holidays, many households were almost fully booked with customers ordering specialties.

According to Ms. Ha Thi Sam - Head of the Khe Ran village cooking service team, dishes such as sticky rice, bamboo rice, grilled fish marinated with spices, buffalo skin soup, grilled meat, grilled mackerel... are traditional dishes of the Thai people that are popular with tourists and always "sold out".

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a tourist from Hanoi who came to Con Cuong with her family in the past few days, said: This is the first time we traveled to Con Cuong, we were impressed by the scenery here as well as the carefully prepared dishes of the homestay service.

All services such as cruises, accommodation, food, drinks, etc. in tourist areas are publicly listed in price, there is no overcharging or sudden price increases during holidays; food hygiene and safety are ensured. District police, commune police and volunteers on rescue duty are on duty regularly at tourist areas.
