Agricultural tourism is a unique experience that capitalizes on the advantages and cultural attractions of the Red River Delta region in Hai Duong province. This area is renowned for its diverse, agricultural-based rural development and has developed a range of agricultural tourism products, including the Co Island eco-tour, various craft villages, the ruoi rice festival, and the Carrot Festival.

The tourism products in Hai Duong are diverse yet lack connection and are not well-planned, hindering the success of agricultural and rural tourism in the area. To make these offerings more successful, it is essential to involve the people since they are key to crafting quality tourism products.
Vu Van Diep, an artisan living in Dong Giao, the renowned wood carving craft village in Luong Dien commune, Cam Giang district, Hai Duong, has expressed his concern that even though the village produces astonishingly beautiful products, it is still not widely known to tourists.

All of these measures are geared towards cultivating an environment that is conducive to tourism and ensuring that visitors have a great experience.
