Besides dried shrimp, mangrove wood chopsticks are also a product that bears the distinctive mark of the people of Dat Mui commune. Mangrove trees now not only play a role in protecting the land, shielding people from natural disasters and climate change, and preserving the biodiversity of the ecosystem, but also appear on the dinner tables of many families from urban to rural areas, creating a significant source of income for local people.
Ms. Ta Thi Tam, owner of Chi Nguyen mangrove chopsticks production facility (Xeo Mam hamlet), shared: "Chi Nguyen mangrove chopsticks have achieved OCOP 3-star standard. Mangrove chopsticks have helped my family rise from poverty to an income of over 200 million VND per year. For more than 3 years now, mangrove chopsticks have developed very well. From Ho Chi Minh City to here, people everywhere use them because they really like chopsticks that are only sun-dried naturally."
Ecotourism , experiential activities, and scientific research are rapidly developing tourism sectors in Dat Mui. Each year, the area welcomes over 500,000 domestic and international tourists. It is predicted that once the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway, the road to Hon Khoai Island, and the Hon Khoai dual-use general port are completed, the number of visitors will increase dramatically. Dat Mui commune is preparing to capitalize on this trend, contributing to rapid and sustainable socio-economic development.
Forest and sea-based experiential tourism is a potential area that can help Ca Mau Peninsula develop rapidly.
Mr. Do Trong Nghia, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Dat Mui Commune, affirmed: "Ecotourism is increasingly attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, becoming an effective solution in creating jobs and livelihoods for the people. Therefore, the commune is orienting itself towards developing unique ecotourism; at the same time, building a system of services, resorts, and entertainment associated with the application of technology and connecting with reputable tourism platforms to better meet the needs of tourists for sightseeing and experiences. Through this, we will fulfill the criteria to be recognized as a national tourist area ."

Dat Mui is undergoing a strong transformation, aiming to become a dynamic, modern, and integrated ecological urban area. To achieve this goal, according to Mr. Do Trong Nghia, in the coming time, the commune will focus on resolving difficulties and obstacles related to land; unlocking resources, especially connecting with key national projects to strongly develop infrastructure, marine economy, clean energy, fisheries logistics, and trade... while ensuring national defense and security.
The southernmost tip of Vietnam is experiencing a surge of new development thanks to strategic decisions in transportation infrastructure, aiming to transform it into a modern ecological urban area.
With strategic infrastructure development policies being implemented, coupled with the aspirations of the Party committee, government, and people, Ca Mau Peninsula promises to become a dynamic and modern ecological urban area in the not-too-distant future.
