Houaphanh Villagers Open Community Lodge:

Villagers turned the key in early March on a community lodge in the Tham La area in mountainous northeast Houaphanh Province's Nakout village in Viengthong District. Villagers, who operate the guesthouse, contributed the construction materials for the USD9,500 sustainable project, and received support from the Asian Development Bank.
