In recent years, due to the growth of the tourism industry, sustainable tourism development in Vietnam has become increasingly important. Understanding sustainable tourism development is crucial for improving long-term strategic planning for the tourism sector in our country. Therefore, sustainable development has also become a subject of interest and research for scientists. Agricultural tourism is a typea of tourism that relies on agricultural systems to explore the beauty of labor, community cultural values, expand the agricultural product market, create employment opportunities, and increase income for the local population, promoting the development of new rural areas. Can Tho City, located in the heart of the Mekong Delta, is known as the "rice bowl," "fruit basket," and "shrimp and fish farm" of Vietnam, making it well-suited for the development of agricultural tourism.
