Not long ago, this place was still a remote fishing village, far from the center and lacking in all aspects such as fresh water, electricity, etc. Now, thanks to the attention of the government and community support policies, Bich Dam is changing step by step, rising up, standing out on the "map" of sustainable community tourism .
Ms. Duong Thi Tho - Head of the Women's Association of Bich Dam residential group, who directly participates in community tourism, said that every day her family welcomes one to two groups of guests, some with 10 - 25 people, and some with small groups of 5 - 7 people. Her family is asked by guests to cook meals with rustic, local menus. The authentic, close experiences and hospitality of the local people have contributed to creating a special attraction for community tourism on Bich Dam island. "Fresh seafood such as shrimp, fish, squid, etc. are all available on the island, only green vegetables have to be transported from the mainland to supplement. Reasonable costs, peaceful space, simple but delicious dishes have made many tourists come back even though my family has never promoted it on social networks," Ms. Tho shared.
Mr. Truong Dinh Vinh - Bich Dam Community Tourism Management Board, Vinh Nguyen Ward, Nha Trang City said that the Management Board has been established and has an official seal. In the coming time, the Board will continue to work with the people to launch specialized teams such as: transportation team, culinary team, rescue team... to ensure synchronous services, avoid "price gouging" and unhealthy competition.
In particular, Mr. Vinh hopes for the need to develop operating regulations, organize training on behavioral skills, serve tourists, as well as encourage people to keep the environment clean and not litter. These are key factors for sustainable development of community tourism. However, he also frankly acknowledged that the island still has many obstacles, the biggest of which is the problem of electricity. The lack of national grid electricity limits people's lives as well as accommodation and food services, especially in the hot summer or cold rainy season, directly affecting the experience of tourists.
According to Mr. Vinh, in order to develop community tourism in a fundamental and effective way, in the coming time, it is necessary to synchronously deploy many solutions such as: Completing regulations on management and operation of community tourism; training and coaching local human resources. In addition, strengthening facilities and equipment for the Management Board; building tours, routes, and package tourism products...
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi - Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Fisheries Association emphasized that Bich Dam Island has special potential for developing community tourism associated with the rational exploitation of marine resources. Located in the core zone of Nha Trang Bay, near Hon Mun Marine Reserve - an internationally recognized reserve since 2001, Bich Dam possesses a rich marine ecosystem, especially coral reefs, which are the "rice pot of Thach Sanh" for the long-term livelihood of local people.
According to him, marine conservation does not mean closing the door, but rather requires reasonable exploitation to serve sustainable livelihoods. This is the new spirit that the United Nations and international development programs are aiming for. He emphasized: "For community tourism in Bich Dam to develop effectively, it must ensure three security: security, welfare and safety - these are the core values that need to be maintained."
Bich Dam - from a small fishing village at the end of Hon Tre island is gradually becoming a model of community tourism associated with conservation and livelihood. After a day of experiencing the island, the group of tourists boarded the last boat back to the mainland. On the small boat, everyone was still reluctant to leave the peaceful, rustic space of Bich Dam. Simple meals, sincere smiles of the people, the sound of waves gently lapping against the coral reef.
