Major heritage sites in the area, such as Van Loc Temple, Mai Bang Temple, and Bau Loi Temple, each receive approximately 15 million visitors annually.
To preserve cultural heritage while promoting sustainable tourism development, the town has formulated appropriate policies to encourage, incentivize, and support businesses in cultural heritage conservation efforts, especially those linked to socio-economic development.

This helps businesses understand their unique role in a special field that combines economic activities with cultural heritage preservation.
