Thanks to tourism, now, the lives of people in the district are gradually improved, this place is also a destination for investors. Luong Duy Doanh, Director of Five Star Travel (Hanoi) said: According to the experience of many localities, for agricultural tourism to develop, it is not necessary to develop massively, but to create fringes with accents. Therefore, the development of OCOP products associated with tourism has gradually created its own professionalism and characteristics. He himself is also creating highlights for his Nam Diep tourist area with local products, restoring ancient songs, building young art teams, serving tourists to visit and relax. .

Developing OCOP products associated with tourism is considered as a new potential for farmers to get rich in their own villages, improving product value. Hopefully in the new year, Lam Binh tourism industry will develop more and more, to deserve the potential bestowed by nature, attracting many tourists to visit and relax.
