According to the report of Tan Cuong Commune People's Committee, following the merger of administrative units, the locality has significant potential for developing ecological tourism, community tourism, and experiential agricultural tourism linked to tea culture. In addition to Tan Cuong's famous specialty tea-growing area, the commune also has many attractive destinations such as Ghenh Che Lake, Thai Hai Reserve Area of Ecological Houses-on-stilts Ethnic Village, An Binh Ecological Tourism Zone, along with many historical and cultural relics. In recent years, many cooperatives and enterprises have combined tea production with experiential activities, accommodation, and tea culture promotion, gradually forming distinctive tourism products. However, tourism activities have not yet developed in a manner commensurate with their potential due to limited infrastructure, accommodation facilities, service products, and investment resources.

Speaking at the survey visit, Comrade Duong Van Luong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, affirmed that Tan Cuong has great potential for tourism development. He emphasized that, with the goal of Thai Nguyen welcoming 12 million visitors by 2030, together with the implementation of numerous infrastructure projects, the organization of large-scale events such as the Tea Festival and the Sports Festival, the development of Nui Coc Lake Tourism Zone, and the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen tourist train route, Tan Cuong has many opportunities to become an attractive destination in the province's chain of tourism products. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that Tan Cuong Commune focus on developing a long-term tourism development plan that ensures connectivity and sustainable development; expand tea material areas; and support residents in raising product value and developing the economy from tea trees. In addition, the locality needs to gradually form nighttime economy models linked to tea culture experiences and community tourism, and make good preparations for receiving, managing, and effectively promoting the conservation house and tea culture space in accordance with regulations.

He also assigned Tan Cuong Commune to swiftly develop a comprehensive tourism development scheme, closely aligned with the province's development orientation, clearly identifying the roadmap, resources, and key tasks in order to effectively tap potential and advantages, make tourism an important economic sector, and contribute to promoting socio-economic development and improving the lives of local residents.
