With such advantages, the development of agricultural and rural tourismis becoming a trend in its sustainable economic development.

The provincial Department of Tourism has requested that its unitsfacilitate the expansion of agri-tourism, offering visitors the opportunity toexperience rural life or become a farmer for a day, Phong said.
