Hoi An
One Co Tu settlement, Bho Hoong, has developed a fine community tourism project allowing visitors to stay in the village. Co Tu guides have been trained and income is ploughed back into the area. Accommodation is in very comfortable bungalows with classy Asian decor and spacious bathrooms trimmed with bamboo and river stones.
The bungalows can be booked independently via online accommodation websites, and visits are also possible with Hoi An Jeep Adventures or Hoi An Motorbike Adventures.
