In order to make tourism as a spearhead industry, Hai Ha District is concentrating on measures to introduce exceptional tourism products which will be developed based on advantages of the locality.
In 2018, Hai Ha started to focus on its agricultural features to develop standardized hamlet-tour and standardized garden-tour. Gardens which are planned to ensure productivity, quality of produtcs and rural appearance have become attractive to tourists.
The standardized gardens lying side by side, inter-hamlet roads adorned with ruellia brittoniana are attracting tourists to Hamlet No4, Quang Minh Commune, Hai Ha District. Walking leisurely on roads, trying farmers’ works, and fresh vegetables harvested in gardens, coming to Hai Ha, tourists can enjoy a healthy and simple rural life.
