During this time, Lung Cu Commune People's Committee established teams to inspect tourism service prices at "hot spots" such as Lo Lo Chai village, especially after information emerged that brokers were charging 3-4 times higher than the listed price. The inspection team required all homestay businesses in Lo Lo Chai to publicly disclose their prices to avoid tourists being "pickpocketed" during their stay.
