During the Lunar New Year of the snake 2025, although some tourist attractions in the province did not open to visitors (Happy Land tourist area, Vam Co farmstay tourist area), the number of tourists to Long An did not decrease.
Tourist areas in the province all focused on developing key products, building new and upgrading existing products. At Tan Lap Floating Village Tourist Area, in addition to the services of visiting cajuput forests, experiencing the flooding season (fishing, catching snails, etc), the service of kayaking and diving to see aquatic life, which has just been put into service not long ago, has also attracted the attention of tourists.

In particular, the service of "locking people up and releasing animals" is still the most prominent highlight, along with a variety of other indoor and outdoor entertainment services.
Other tourist areas and spots in the province: Chavi Garden, Phuoc Loc Tho, Canh Dong Bat Tan, Van Lai Vien welcomed from 200 to 1,000 visitors during this holiday.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, compliance with legal regulations on prices, posting prices and selling at the correct listed prices is strictly implemented by destinations. There has been no arbitrary price hike or solicitation of tourists in the province. During this year's Tet holiday, the province welcomed about 65,000 visitors with revenue of about 32 billion VND.
Step by step exploiting river tourism

The positive “signals” are not only reflected in the numbers from tourist areas but also from new services developed by localities. Long An is famous for the poetic and heroic Vam Co Dong and Vam Co Tay rivers. The potential for developing river tourism in the province is always highly appreciated for both its existing values and its ability to connect well with Ho Chi Minh City.
Les Rives Joint Stock Company CEO - Lieu Thi My Hanh affirmed that with the advantages of landscape and rich culture and history, river tours to Long An are very suitable for foreign tourists who want to find peaceful countrysides with a strong Southern character.
Understanding these things, the People's Committee of Thu Thua district has deployed the operation of an inland waterway wharf on Thu Thua canal, right in the area of Vinh Phong communal house and Thu Thua market to serve passengers and unload goods. This is a new highlight, creating favorable conditions for river tours to Thu Thua district.
In Tan An city, the exploitation of river tourism is also focused on. Two waterway wharves on the Vam Co Tay river and Bao Dinh river were built to serve tourism activities. It is expected that there will be tourist boats operating in this area in the near future, gradually realizing the idea of developing waterway tourism in Tan An city.
Previously, the Tourism Promotion Information Center also brought a survey delegation of travel agencies and investors of tourist wharfs in Ho Chi Minh City to Long An to visit the Vam Co Dong river, Vam Co Tay river, Vam Thu river and Bao Dinh canal, etc, contributing to the effective exploitation of river tourism in the coming time.
With positive signals, Long An tourism is on the rise. The efforts of authorities at all levels, businesses and people, the exploitation of available tourism potentials are increasingly effective and bring about many expectations./.
