Grasping the trend of agricultural development associated with experiential tourism, the 19/5 Agricultural Development Service Cooperative, Van Son Ward, has promoted the development of agricultural products supporting tourism. Mr. Mai Duc Thinh, Director of the Cooperative, said: The Cooperative has invested in an experimental garden of more than 7 hectares growing unique, high-quality fruit varieties, such as: Golden Peak Plum; early-ripening plum; late-ripening plum; early-ripening peach; milk grapes; temperate pears and jujube trees... to serve tourists to visit and experience the process of caring for and harvesting fruit. Along with that, the Cooperative has invested in building a system of accommodation facilities, organizing for groups of tourists to visit the production area. On weekends, the Cooperative welcomes thousands of visitors to visit and experience.

Coming with her family to experience grape picking at the 19/5 Agricultural Development Service Cooperative, Ms. Nguyen Bich Hong, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: Coming to Moc Chau National Tourist Area, I chose agricultural tourism to immerse myself in nature and experience the life of farmers. Coming here, I learned about the care process to create clean local agricultural products, and was able to personally pick and pick bunches of ripe fruit to enjoy and buy as gifts for relatives.

In residential group 68, Van Son ward, the ly orange garden of Mr. Ha Van Chien's family has become an attractive destination for tourists every fruit ripening season. Mr. Chien shared: To serve the needs of visitors coming to visit and take photos, I have focused on renovating the garden, creating more spots for tourists to "check in". Along with that, the orange trees are carefully cared for, following an organic direction, ensuring health safety standards. Currently, the family's ly orange garden of more than 1 hectare when the fruit season comes can welcome more than 1,000 visitors to visit and experience on weekends. After experiencing and enjoying the oranges in the garden, visitors also buy them as gifts. Thanks to that, the oranges do not have to worry about output, bringing high income for the family.

Agricultural tourism is becoming an attractive trend, giving visitors authentic experiences of agricultural life and production. This attraction comes not only from being immersed in nature, but also from the sustainable values that this tourism model brings, creating income for local people and promoting common development. Realizing this great potential, travel agencies have built and developed unique agricultural experience tours.
