My Son Community-based Tourism Village in Duy Phu commune, central Quang
Nam province, was opened on March 14 by the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism and the International Labour Organisation
(ILO).
The village, funded by the Luxembourg Government, is located close to the World Cultural Heritage Site of My Son.
Forty households took part in the project, 30 of them from My Son hamlet.
To ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of community tourism,
five households built service facilities with a total sum of 15,000 USD
mobilised by ILO.
ILO’s representative Charles
Bodwell said that the village helps improve local residents’ well-being
and popularises My Son Heritage Site to domestic and foreign visitors.
Its aims are both economic development and environmental protection.-VNA
