 As a lakeside village near Hoa Binh Lake, there are 150 households living, over 90% of them are Muong ethnic people. At present, the local people still keep the traditional cultural activities of the ethnic minority and more than 50% of households keep traditional stilt houses. Currently, the 435 Road to the hamlet is being upgraded and expected to be completed in 2020. This will be a condition for local people and visitors to travel more favorably. In addition, the village with the advantage of waterway can connect with other community tourism villages, such as Ke village, Hiep Luong commune, Da Bia village, Tien Phong commune (Da Bac); Ngoi Hamlet, Ngoi Hoa commune (Tan Lac) and other tourist islands on Hoa Binh Lake. With these tourism potentials, Tien village has been implemented to build the model of community tourism village since May 2017 by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

In order to help local people in accessing, familiarizing and developing community-based tourism, through training courses on tourism skills organized by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the village has sent 5 qualified households for doing homestay business to go for training, fostering knowledge about homestay.

There were 30 households in Thung Nai and Binh Thanh participating, 21 households of which were from Tien village in Thung Nai commune.

Especially, I also learned the way to build products to introduce, market and promote tourist sites in a scientific and basic way.
