Drying out by long-handles bucket

Cam Chau ward has over 220 hectares for planting rice and crops.

In order to encourage agricultural production associated with effectively exploiting the values of ecological resources and promoting tourism potential, the authorities in Hoi An have built and upgraded the local transport infrastructure, improving rural landscapes, developing agricultural products and services, and initially creating a picture of tourism in combination with agricultural production.

There are more and more cycling tours to Cam Chau to join in farming activities in the field, facilitating agritourism development and thereby making the urban area of Hoi An a spearhead in local tourism development.

According to the leaders of Hoi An, the city has laid down as a policy the diversification of tourism products.

In particular, agritourism development based on local advantages helps create commodities, avoiding the risk of shortages of food.

At the same time, agritourism also provides local farmers with stable incomes and better lives.

The Cam Chau ‘Going to the Field’ Festival 2024 was an important event and a new tourism product, contributing to the improvement of the value chain and the local income. Hoi An will expand this tourism model to other places in the city.
