An overview of the workshop.

At the workshop, participants exchanged opinions on several difficulties the district is facing in developing community-based tourism. They also approved a set of regulations on managing tourism activities in Mai Chau with four chapters and 27 articles.

A leader of Mai Chau district’s People’s Committee asked for the early establishment of a tourism management board in Chieng Chau and Na Phon communes and Mai Chau town, the organisation of training courses for households doing homestay tourism, the registration of operating electric cars, and standardization of electric car driver licenses.

Attention should be paid to building a roadmap for the use of electric cars, considering the building of a welcome gate at Tong Dau T-junction and car parks, particularly those for electric cars, and intensifying dissemination of the regulations on tourism activities for tourism households.
