While Truong Dinh Tung in Dao Luoi village, Luc Nam district, northern Bac Giang province is still in his 20s, he has already found success in developing a new freshwater pearl farming model.
The Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang, home to one of the hottest holiday spots in Vietnam – Phu Quoc Island, has experienced a boom in tourism over the last few years.
