Over the years, Dak Na commune has become a tourist destination for many tourists with its majestic natural landscape, primeval forests, magnificent Siu Puong waterfall and cloud hunting hills. Not only that, this is also a place to preserve the priceless cultural treasures of the Xo Dang people.
Realizing the great potential of experiential tourism , Ms. Y Gia Nhi and the young people in the village developed and designed tours. Ms. Nhi said that she had the opportunity to go abroad and learn many good things during this time. However, the opportunity to do tourism came to her very unexpectedly and since then she has been attached to it for the past 2 years.

“Although I was born, grew up and understood nature well in Dak Na commune, I never had the idea of developing tourism models here. Until I saw the government starting to develop and promote the image of Siu Puong waterfall, I started to have the idea of designing my own tour to take visitors to see the beautiful local scenery,” Nhi shared.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Thuy - Chairman of Dak Na Commune People's Committee said that every year, the locality welcomes more than 1,000 visitors to visit Siu Puong waterfall. Thanks to the tourism service model of Ms. Y Gia Nhi, the natural landscape and culture of the Xo Dang people are known and loved by many tourists. In the coming time, the commune will build a community tourism village in Le Vang village to combine tours to visit Siu Puong waterfall. The fact that young people do tourism contributes to increasing income for people, thereby contributing to the overall poverty reduction in the commune.
Getting right to work, she went online to learn about tour design; building promotional channels; connecting with travel companies, local people, etc. to realize her ideas. From an amateur entering the profession, she accumulated experience from guiding tourists on tours.
Ms. Nhi said that at first she only guided tours with about 5 people, gradually increasing to 20 people, and now she is confident in taking groups of up to 100 people. Not only that, she also cooperated with about 60 Xo Dang people in the commune to set up motorbike-porter teams; culinary teams; and gong teams to serve tourists.
With many supportive policies from the government, she and the people have built many new models such as picnics, camping, mountain climbing, cloud hunting , viewing precious medicinal herb gardens and introducing the unique culture of the Xo Dang people. Gradually, more and more tourists come to her experience tours and create stable jobs for the people.
“On average, the income of the locals per tour is 300,000 VND/person. Depending on the season, each month they earn an additional income of 1-3 million VND. They earn money from transporting tourists to the waterfall, serving meals, performing arts... In addition to bringing income to the locals, what makes me happy is being able to personally promote the beauty of tourism, the cultural identity of the locality, and of the Xo Dang people to tourists across the country,” said Nhi.
For Ms. Nhi, doing tourism must come from the heart and the desire to bring unforgettable experiences to tourists. Therefore, each place to visit, take pictures, and organize meals is carefully planned by her, not to offend any tourist. This helps her tours to be loved by many groups of tourists, from which they connect with new groups of tourists to promote tourism in the locality.
