💡 Tips When Designing Tours for Foreign Guests
Cuisine: Foreign guests love to try local specialties (Burnt rice, goat meat) but always need to have prepared menu options for vegetarians, vegans, or those with allergies.
Physical Activities: Include cycling activities through ancient villages or kayaking. Western guests particularly prefer these hands-on experiences over just sitting in a car to enjoy the scenery.
Timing: It is advisable to schedule the climb to Hang Mua in the early morning or late afternoon (sunset) to avoid the harsh sun and help guests capture stunning photos.
