(QNO) - The Quang Nam Homestay Association under the Quang Nam Tourism Association was officially launched on December 19 with 79 members.

Quang Nam Homestay Association executive board for the 2017-2022 term.

Quang Nam currently has about 270 homestays, mainly distributed in Hoi An city and some other places such as Dien Ban, Duy Xuyen, Tam Ky, Nui Thanh, Dong Giang, Nam Giang... In Hoi An, the number now is 256 with more than 1,011 rooms (accounting for 53.44% of total accommodations). In addition, there are 66 other homestays with 263 rooms that will soon come into operation.

Several homestays in Quang Nam have worked as a local typical tourism product, contributing to the promotion of local cultural and natural values. However, most of them ran individually, lacking connections that resulted in some bad effects on the local tourism.
