Adding color to beach tourism.

(GLO) - Summer is the busiest time of year for beach tourism, bringing with it golden sunshine, blue waves, and refreshing breezes.

Immersed in this vibrant scene, women from various professions in the coastal city are quietly contributing to preserving and enhancing the image of the province's tourism, making it even more beautiful and friendly in the eyes of visitors.

In the familiar coastal destinations of Quy Nhon, it's not difficult to spot women bustling about in the sun and wind. Each has a job – some work as local guides, others sell dried seafood with the rich flavor of the sea, some are responsible for transporting tourists to islands or organizing parties on the beach… Despite their different tasks, they all contribute to preserving the natural beauty and creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for coastal tourism.

In their role as tour guides, many women not only simply explain but also creatively convey local culture. They introduce rustic culinary flavors, tell stories of fishing villages, and organize engaging activities to make the journey more lively and personal.

In the coastal city of Quy Nhon, Ms. Tran Thi Nhu Thuong, a freelance tour guide with many years of experience in beach tours, has made a particularly strong impression by incorporating the traditional folk art of Bai Choi into tourism activities. Not only has she learned and understood it, but she has also dedicated time to practicing and performing, and has now become one of the young artists who regularly performs Bai Choi for tourists.

“I think tourists coming to Central Vietnam, especially the coastal city of Quy Nhon, don't just come to swim and sightsee, but also want to experience the warmth of the local people. Therefore, I incorporate Bài Chòi (a traditional Vietnamese folk game) into the guided tours, creating a small entertainment space along the way – tourists can listen, laugh, and clap along. Many people say that these moments make their trip even more complete and memorable,” Ms. Thuong said.

Not content with just offering small-scale services, many women in the coastal town have boldly started businesses, investing systematically to develop local tourism. Through perseverance and dedication, they have created spaces that truly capture the essence of the sea, providing professional service to tourists while contributing to job creation and increased income for local residents.

Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Kieu, owner of Hon Kho restaurant (Quy Nhon Bac ward), is one of the pioneering women in this field. Besides transporting tourists around the island, Ms. Kieu also organizes small beach parties. She personally grills seafood and vegetables so that visitors can enjoy the taste of the sea while singing and admiring the moon shining brightly on the night sea.

"Tourists come here not only to enjoy delicious food but also to experience a relaxing, cozy feeling like being at home. I always try to create a space where everyone can have fun, experience new things, and take home beautiful memories of Quy Nhon beach," Ms. Kieu shared.

Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Le Huyen (Quy Nhon Bac ward) started her business by leveraging the abundant potential of her hometown, boldly opening the A Tu Hon Kho restaurant. Despite lacking extensive experience in the service industry, she gradually learned and adjusted her business model, combining serving fresh seafood with organizing tours to the island for swimming and coral viewing. After four years of hard work, her restaurant has become a familiar destination, providing stable employment for nearly 20 local workers.

"Our guests usually enjoy eating seafood, admiring the sea, and taking a boat trip to the islands. We always focus on selecting fresh ingredients and providing dedicated service so that everyone who comes wants to return," Ms. Huyen shared.
