High-income seasonal jobs in Cua Lo

(Baonghean.vn) - Known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Northern provinces, Cua Lo welcomes millions of visitors every year for sightseeing and relaxation. From here, many seasonal jobs and services were born, both to better serve the needs of tourists and tobring income to the town people.

Squid fishing service is booming in Cua Lo.

An attractive tourist service not only for domestic tourists but also for international tourists is night squid fishing at Cua Lo beach.

Mr. Hung, a tourist in Hanoi, shared: “The first time I went squid fishing in Cua Lo beach, when the basket boat started to rock with each wave, I was very scared. But the boatman had a steady hand on the steering wheel, constantly reassuring me, and when I was far from shore, I could see the sea and sky at night, the lights in the distance, and hear the sound of the wind, which was very enjoyable. This trip only caught a few squid, but it was an extremely interesting experience. I had to wear a full life jacket as instructed by the boat owner.”

Taking tourists to go squid fishing at night takes place during the 3 summer months, but this service is attracting many fishermen from Cua Lo to participate. Because each trip lasts for a few hours, the boat owner has a source of income of about 200 - 300 thousand VND/night.

In recent years, tourists to Cua Lo, in addition to swimming in the sea, also enjoy visiting historical and cultural relics and traditional seafood processing villages in the area. The means of transport that tourists mainly choose is electric cars.

Sitting on an electric car is very comfortable to enjoy the scenery and capture beautiful images of the coastal tourist city. Moreover, this type of vehicle does not pollute the environment. In particular, each tourist only needs to spend 10,000 VND to get on the car to go around the town.
