From stilt houses nestled on the mountainside, warm hearths, meals imbued with the aroma of the mountains and forests, to the simple laughter and conversation of the local people – all are gradually becoming special "resources" that attract tourists seeking to reconnect with nature and a slower pace of life.

Community-based tourism is initially opening up new livelihoods for people in mountainous areas, creating more local jobs, and increasing income from accommodation services, food , and the sale of local products.
