In June 2011, for the first time, a new form of livelihood appeared, that is the model of community tourism, built in 4 villages in 4 communes: Bong Khe, Yen Khe, Luc Da and Mon Son. 4 groups (each group of 6 members) run by Thai people, operating in the form of self-governance and community tourism conventions, under the direction of the general management apparatus.
