Long An is located at the gateway to the Mekong Delta, adjacent to Ho Chi Minh City, so it has a special advantage in tourism development. According to the assessment of the Provincial People's Committee, tourism is a key economic sector of the province. Developing tourism is contributing to the development of the cultural industry of the country in general and Long An province in particular. On the basis of promoting existing strengths, the provincial tourism industry is in the process of finding a suitable development direction, awakening existing potential.

As the trend of sustainable tourism becoming the priority choice of many tourists, especially international tourists, Long An Tourism Industry is making efforts to exploit ecotourism on the landscape of Dong Thap Muoi with destinations such as Tan Lap Floating Village, Endless Field.
However, due to certain difficulties, the number of tourists to Dong Thap Muoi is not really high compared to entertainment destination that focus on day trips and weekends such as Happy Land, Chavi Garden, etc.
Chavi Garden is a unique destination of Long An tourism with services of streams, mineral, and herbal bathing. In the middle of the plains, tourists can still find the romantic, gentle space of brilliant flower fields and cool streams that are typical of the Central Highlands and highlands.
Starting from a large lemon farm with about 150 hectares of organically grown seedless lemons, Chavi Garden develops in the direction of providing learning services, experiencing the river landscape and farming along with processing agricultural products. Chavi Garden's lime garden is considered an ideal resting place for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring localities.
In addition to entertainment, recreation and experience spots, sports tourism with the highlight of golf tourism for the upper class segment is also developing strongly in Long An with 2 golf courses: West Lakes Golf and Villas Long An, Royal Long An Golf & Villas, with18-hole scale, classy design and a full system of utilities. The two courses are attractive destinations for foreign tourists.
Chavi Garden is suitable for tourists who need short day trips
Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Mai Van Nhieu assessed that Long An Tourism Industry is gradually developing based on "differences" compared to other localities: Dong Thap Muoi, golf tourism, day-trip destinations with many highlights, etc. However, due to incomplete planning, not clearly identifying target customers to build suitable products; tourism promotion is still fragmented, scattered, and unsystematic, so the provincial Tourism Industry is still struggling, not creating a special impression in the hearts of tourists.
And for the provincial tourism industry to develop in accordance with the Long An Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, the Provincial People's Committee will review and re-evaluate the potential and advantages of tourism development to orient products each year in accordance with actual needs. In addition, linkage and cooperation in tourism; human resource training; calling for investors; creating a favorable environment for investors in terms of taxes, human resource training; etc also need to be focused on to develop the province's tourism in the coming time./.
