In recent days, the number of tourists visiting these places alone is estimated at about 3,000 - 4,000 people per day.

Mr. Doan Van Chi - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Dien Bien province, said that currently all motels and hotels in Dien Bien Phu city are fully booked.

The list and information of households eligible to provide accommodation services are posted on mass media and social networking platforms to connect with guests in need of accommodation.

These households have also been instructed by the People's Committees of wards and communes and the police force on ensuring security and order; fire prevention and fighting, ensuring that tourists stay with their families safely and thoughtfully.
