Mr. Le Phuoc Tanh - member of Tan Thuan Association (Tan Thuan Tay Commune, Cao Lanh City, Dong Thap Province) - said that since the beginning of the flood season, the association's fishing net dismantling tourist spot has been operating regularly, welcoming many tourists to visit and directly catch fish on the Tien River.

“This is a community tourism model that has been of interest to the locality and developed over the past many years. On average, every 4-6 weeks, the piles can be removed and the fish can be harvested. Each small pile of piles can harvest about 15-20kg of fish such as silver carp, oc fish, he fish, linh fish, catfish, and long shrimp.

When there is a group of customers "ordering", we will arrange and take turns unloading each point to ensure there are plenty of fish," said Mr. Tanh.
