Some tourist areas and spots that attract a large number of visitors include: Hon Da Bac Tourist Area; Mui Ca Mau Tourist Area; Khai Long Tourist Area; Huong Tram Eco-tourism Site; President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site; U Minh Forest Flower Eco-tourism Site; Thu Duy Eco-tourism Site...

Particularly, the entertainment and recreation spots in Ca Mau City welcomed more than 58,000 visitors. Ca Mau Eco tourist area (Tran Van Thoi district, from February 8-14, welcomed more than 8,000 visitors to visit and have fun.

Although the number of tourists visiting during the Year of the Dragon increased by 8.2% (164,491) compared to the Year of the Cat, the total tourism revenue did not increase much; mainly domestic tourists, the number of tourists from other provinces coming to Ca Mau during the Tet holiday was not high.

The reason is that people's income in business, production and labor activities in 2023 decreased, so spending by visitors and tourists, as well as total tourism revenue during the Lunar New Year holiday this year, did not increase much compared to expectations.
