Son La expands agritourism model

The provincial Farmers’ Union on May 8 held a conference in Chieng Co commune, Son La city to review the project titled "Developing and Expanding the Ecological Agriculture Model Linked with Agritourism."

 

A view of the conference.

The project was implemented in Hun hamlet, Chieng Co commune with the participation of three local households. During the project’s implementation, participants received various forms of support, including signage for agritourism areas, "check-in" photo spots using bamboo and rattan decorations, 15 solar-powered street lamps, nine waste bins, display shelves, an entrance gate, directional signs, and banners promoting agritourism.

In terms of agricultural support, households were also provided with 3,000 carp fingerlings, 500 mandarin saplings, and 850 indigenous black ducklings.

After three years, the model has begun yielding positive results. The sites have attracted increasing numbers of visitors, receiving an average of 100–150 guests per week, and over 100 guests per day during weekends and holidays. The project has also created stable jobs for six local farmer union members, each earning a monthly income of 4.5–5 million VND (192 USD).

Visitors experience the agritourism model at the farm of Tong Thi Huong, a resident of Hun hamlet, Chieng Co commune.

In the coming time, participating households plan to maintain and expand the model by working with more local families to develop high-quality, branded agricultural products linked to tourism, promotion and sale. Additionally, they aim to share their experience with farmers within and beyond the commune to replicate the model across the region.
