Therefore, many tourist garden owners choose a specific type of visitors to design the space and the service product. For example, Ivory Bamboo Resort and Lotus Village (Binh Thuy) aim at foreign tourists (especially "backpackers"), so the accommodation is designed simply: thatched roofs in the quiet garden, cheap price (about 200,000 VND/night), bicycle rental (50,000 VND/day and 30,000/half-day), motorbike hire (150,000 VND/day and 100,000 VND/half day).
