Nghia Lo town has two community-based tourism sites in Nghia An and Nghia Loi with more than 20 households taking part in offering homestay services. Notable names among them include Hong Chung, Binh Yen, Loan Khang in Nghia Loi; and Hoang Phuong in Nghia An. This year, the town has so far launched a series of measures to preserve and develop community-based tourism and cultural identities of the local Thai ethnic group.

Dinh Anh Tuan, head of the town’s cultural office, said to increase the performance quality of the homestay model, the office has encouraged households to join the supply chain of tourism products, and the "One Commune One Product” (OCOP) programme. According to the official, the two communes are striving to have three homestay service providers earning OCOP certificates in 2020.
