My Son Community Tourism Village opens

 

 

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 Organization (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 mobilized by ILO. 

ILO’s representative Charles Bodwell said that the village helps improve local residents’ well-being and popularizes My Son Heritage Site to domestic and foreign visitors. Its aims are both economic development and environmental protection.
