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. No luxuries here.
