Our pride of the country is always there. Therefore, how to promote this factor and to associate it with protecting the value of the village is the question.

People are aware that tourism require cleanliness. Tra Que Vegetable Village - Hoi An City has impressed visitors when traveling on the roads with no rubbish. The peaceful village, growing vegetables throughout the year has attracted domestic and foreign tourists. People in the village have joined to promote this value more through the maintenance of environmental sanitation. As a result, the value of this village becomes even more special. Another example is the Painting village (Bich Hoa village), Tam Thanh commune, Tam Ky city, Quang Nam province. This is a traditional fishing village. In the past, garbage was everywhere, tourists do not know this place and people’s lives are still dependent entirely on fishing. However, the habitat in Bich Hoa village has changed completely as most of the houses leading into the village are painted with many different images. This has created a new space for this village. Since then, many visitors know and have created a new flow of tourism for this place. As a result, the income of households increased due to the accompanying services such as keeping motorbikes, car rental, selling refreshment,... Being aware of the importance of village space, all people are more conscious in waste management. Domestic waste is collected and processed better. The village becomes more beautiful.
