An ethnic girl does an online tour bringing thousands of visitors to Sa Pa 3
Just graduated from Hanoi University and passionate about tourism, Vu Thi Ngoc Huong returned home to Ta Van commune, Sa Pa town to work as a freelance tour guide.
Thousands of tourists go on tours during the pandemic season
To date, Huong has conducted 3 registered tours through the online application Zoom and the Google Meet platform.
The first time she did the tour, she only had 5 people registered to participate and it was also raining heavily.
Huong said that the first tours she did were free and in the future, there will be a fee of 50,000 VND/person for experience tours according to available schedules, with a maximum of 100 participants at a time.
In addition to registered tours, Huong also broadcasts live for free on Facebook travel groups, once a month.
Initially when she did the tour, she only went alone, carrying an old phone.

Ms. Phuong Hoa (38 years old, in Hanoi), a tourist participating in 2 of her online tours commented, `The tour guide is very natural, attractive, feels close but authentic, not colorful.
As a travel worker, Ms. Hoa said that online tours are quite new but very good and suitable for the current epidemic period.

As a member of the Giay ethnic group, born and raised in Sa Pa, Huong has witnessed the years of this land developing tourism, from basic to modern such as adding cable cars, shopping centers, and hotels.

Therefore, from his Youtube channel and online tours, Huong always looks for destinations and experiences that are not too popular with tourists such as visiting Seo My Ty, experiencing Giay culture, and how to distinguish buffalo meat.
During the online tour to the ancient rock beach, instead of introducing the destination according to online articles, Huong came here to survey 3 times, thoroughly learning the story of each painting on the rock.
This was also her most impressive tour leading time, because she walked on steep roads while presenting and interacting with viewers for more than an hour.
In the future, Huong hopes to establish a local community tourism business, to both help himself and help Sa Pa tourism have more attractive experiences for tourists, from its core values.
