Although tourism is developing fast in the region, many locals still live a very basic life. Most of them spend all day long working on the fields.It’s so easy to find a small market in any villages,they sell what their families do not need in markets, Cocly market ,too. And with the money they make, they buy something else. It is what experts call a subsistence economy.
