Currently, Mr. My's cocoa garden is not only a place of production, learning experience, interesting tourist experience, but also a place to sell and promote the processed products of the cooperative.

Another model of agriculture - tourism combination is the Four Seasons Flower Garden in Xuan Bac Commune. Mr. Van Thanh Than, the owner of the flower garden shared that he had only planted flowers for Tet.
