To promote the potential strengths bestowed by nature, in addition to effectively exploiting natural hot water resources to serve the needs of tourists in and outside the district, this cooperative has paid special attention to exploiting regional identity factors to build a tourist area as well as create a difference from other tourist areas, from the architecture of the rooms, culinary culture to culture, all inspired by the identity in the lives of the Mong and Thai ethnic groups.
Mr. Vu Manh Cuong - Director of Hai Cuong Tourism Cooperative said: "From the beginning of tourism, I have paid special attention to the identity factor to build my tourist area. Therefore, the roofs of the rooms are all made of wood, and most of the dishes are made from ingredients made by the local people, ensuring cleanliness and food hygiene safety.
In addition, during holidays, we pay great attention to organizing cultural and artistic exchanges with tourists through dances and songs imbued with the unique identities of the Mong and Thai people.
Promoting national identity in tourism development has created a distinct highlight attracting tourists to Tram Tau hot spring resort, especially tourists from big cities.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang Nhung - a tourist from Hanoi shared: "My first impression when coming to Tram Tau hot spring is that in the middle of the vast mountains and forests there is a natural hot mineral pool, the scenery is poetic, beautiful, the people are friendly, the food has many strange and attractive dishes. I will come back to this place many times and introduce it to my relatives."
