Nam Diep is just one of nearly 30 homestays in Lam Binh opened under the model of community tourism. Mr. Nguyen Van Hien, Vice Chairman of Lam Binh District People's Committee said that in 2017, Lam Binh only had about 15 homestay households. Lam Binh has a convenient location, close to many attractive tourist attractions of Tuyen Quang such as Na Hang lake, Khuoi Nhi waterfall, Song Long cave, Khuoi Gun waterfall, Phia Vai cave... Lam Binh itself is also a place with space. Nature, green mountains and forests, life and culture of indigenous peoples have many interesting and attractive features. Homestay is a good way to contribute to hunger eradication and poverty alleviation for the people here.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hien shared: “Households here all see the benefits of homestay, even those without homestay. For example, if there are guests in Nam Diep's house, the people around them all benefit from providing food, cooking or providing services for visitors." In the village, there is also a mass performance team, ready to perform traditional performances when requested by visitors.
Swimming pool "5,000 VND" is also one of the households that benefited from such a situation. The swimming pool is only about 100m from Nam Dip homestay, built in a style close to nature, embanked with bamboo and wooden walkways, water pipes made of water pipes, the walls of the pool are attached from large, regular spring stones. . In the middle of the pool, the owner also designed a bamboo bridge so that those who like diving can try, or let the sisters take pictures of "virtual living". The pool is clearly divided into three parts, a small paddling pool for children, a 0.9m deep pool for non-swimmers, and a 2m deep pool for swimmers. The tank water is led down from the mountain in a circulating fashion, with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe.
The most surprising thing is that visitors here only have to pay exactly 5,000 VND, swim comfortably, swim in full bath... In the summer, tourists are crowded, the swimming pool is almost always full. Normally, the pool welcomes guests who live around it and also people from other places.

The homestay tourism model is being replicated in many places, especially in the northern mountainous provinces. Homestay, if done properly, well promoted and interested in by the government, will become one of the ways of eradicating and reducing poverty, extremely useful for upland people; especially places with potential for tourism but not yet commercially exploited.
