Currently, more than 3,700 boats of Huong Son Tourism Service Cooperative have been repaired, painted blue, fully equipped with life jackets, trash baskets, sun and rain umbrellas, seats, free drinking water...

Each ferryman has a QR code for the cooperative to manage, each ferry boat has a QR code that interacts with feedback on the ferryman's service attitude towards tourists. Ferry service time for tourists starts from 4:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day.

Along with the above innovation, My Duc district has focused on beautifying the landscape and space, installing billboards, flower beds, and ornamental plants along Provincial Road 419 (from Van Tin to Huong Son) and the walking route on both sides of Suoi Yen to create a landscape for tourists to visit and enjoy the festival.
