(HBO) - Located next to Mai Chau Ecolodge in Na Phon commune, Mai Chau district is Mai Chau Sky Resort. With a prime location surrounded by mountains, lush green grass and close to nature, Mai Chau Sky Resort is designed with simple, rustic stilt houses bearing the character of the Northwest mountains.
Mai Chau Sky Resort is a favorite destination of tourists when coming to Na Phon.
With the main materials used are wood, the roof combined with glass has helped this resort become close but still exudes its own luxury. When we visited, we thought the owner must be someone who has a "vocation" to do tourism. But no, it was a person who came from a farmer. The owner is Mr. Ha Van Sem, Na Chieng hamlet, Na Phon commune. Years ago, his family, like many households in Na Phon commune, mainly relied on rice cultivation, maize and cassava cultivation, so life faced many difficulties.
In 2013, Mai Chau Ecolodge tourist area was built, so Mr. Sem and his children and grandchildren went to work. Mr. Sem said: Through the process of working and accumulating experience in tourism, in 2017, I built Mai Chau Sky Resort. Initially, it was just to build a room for drivers and tour guides in Mai Chau Ecolodge to rent, because they do not have economic conditions but need to sleep a lot. After a few years, the family was able to expand to attract tourists. Currently, Mai Chau Sky Resort has 19 rooms, stilt houses for guests and 5 rooms for drivers and guides to rent. The resort is spacious and clean, retains the environmentally friendly ancient architecture, has a swimming pool for tourists with a capacity of about 100 people. For community motels, they are fully equipped with neatly folded blankets, cushions and pillows to serve about 30 guests in the stilt house.
One of the most popular and frequented areas in Mai Chau Sky Resort is the infinity pool. Around the swimming pool, guests can relax and sunbathe overlooking the rice fields, creating attractions. Annually, the total income of Mr. Sem's family is over 3,5 billion VND. In addition to creating jobs for family members, the resort also creates jobs for 10 local workers with an average income of more than 4 million VND/month.
Sharing about his experiences in tourism, Mr. Ha Van Sem added: Service business is a service profession. To be successful, business people need to understand the psychology and culture of each customer. Like foreigners, when traveling, they like to experience, rest, do not attach importance to eating and drinking, so they need a quiet space. Every small action such as a waiter wearing slippers, sweeping the floor, sweeping the house early in the morning... will leave a bad impression on guests. Capturing such a mentality, guests to Mai Chau Sky Resort were more crowded. There are guests who come here every year to relax. This place is one of the favorite destinations for tourists when coming to Na Phon, Mai Chau.
