Rural tourism is on the rise

BTO- Last Saturday, I went to Cam Binh Beach (Tan Phuoc commune, La Gi town) at the Anh Chau couple's invitation. This is not the first time I have been to La Gi or Cam Binh Beach, but it has been more than 5 years since I had the chance to return, partly due to COVID-19 and not having any related work. Cam Binh Beach is now very different from previous years because of the scene of bustling tourism.
