    Tan Hoa tourist village in Tan Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh province was honored by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as the best tourist village in the world in October 2023. Storm No. 4 made landfall this week, causing flooding in many places, including Tan Hoa village. Speaking to Lao Dong, Mr. Truong Thanh Duyen - Chairman of the People's Committee of Tan Hoa commune (Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh) said that prolonged heavy rain caused more than 400 houses to be deeply flooded on September 20.

    However, people no longer have to flee from floods, but most of them adapt to climate change, equipping floating houses to avoid floods to ensure the safety of people and property. The green-roofed houses are floating houses against floods. During rainy and flood days, Tan Hoa people will move to floating houses to live, each family has a wooden boat, aluminum boat to travel and live. Cows and buffaloes also move to high mountain areas, every day people row boats to cut grass for the cows and buffaloes to eat. Photo: NVCC
    The floating houses come into play during the flood season. Mr. Nguyen Chau A, General Director of Oxalis Adventure, said: “When the water rises in the Tan Hoa climate-adaptive tourist village, people have floating houses, prepare enough food for the whole month, use clean water from rainwater, and if they run out, they row a boat to Tu Lan Lodge to get it. When the water rises higher, the green houses will float up.” Photo: NVCC

    Floating houses used as homestays can still welcome guests to experience the Tan Hoa flood season. Weather-adaptive tourism means that when the water rises or falls, it is always ready to welcome guests. Homestays from floating houses are also adaptive because rising water does not damage equipment and when the water recedes, guests can be welcomed back immediately, without having to clean up mud.

    Mr. Chau A commented: “Weather-adaptive tourism is that even when the water rises, the households providing home-cooked meals will still serve. They will cook rice to invite guests on floating houses, instead of cycling to have dinner at the local house, now guests will kayak to have dinner. Tan Hoa has 10 homestays built on floating houses and guests can stay on flooded days, the homestay has a hanging septic tank system and still operates normally when the water rises. Guests coming to Tan Hoa travel to Tu Lan Lodge by boat, then go to the local house by kayak or SUP”. Photo: NVCC

    People cleaning up their houses after the flood continued to welcome visitors on the morning of September 21. The goal by 2025 is that Tan Hoa will become a unique climate-adapted tourist village in Vietnam and the world, with many new tourism products, attracting domestic and international visitors.
