Connecting tourism with traditional craft villages is opening up opportunities to help people have more conditions for economic, social and cultural exchange. Bac Giang has a relatively large number of craft villages, but it still needs a long-term strategy to exploit and meet tourism development. There are many reasons why the tourism potential of craft villages has not been fully exploited. In particular, due to the lack of synchronous and intensive investment, facilities have not met the needs, the way is not professional, plus the people in the trade village are not actively active in tourism. People lack tourism skills, poor services, lack of connectivity, seriously polluted environment ... are pushing back the development of tourism in craft villages. While this is an industry with significant economic and social benefits, contributing to preserving and developing cultural identity in the locality. The village tours in Bac Giang are currently not fully exploited, many places just stop at the form of sightseeing. Even in Tho Ha ancient village and Tang Tien bamboo and rattan are two famous craft villages in the province, people still mainly focus on finding outlets for products, but less interested in introducing tourists to history and literature. chemistry, traditional craft values ​​of the village ...

With the packing, easy to transport away. Localities should create cooperation, calling for investment for tourism businesses; pay attention to preserving and preserving traditional cultural capital in localities where trade villages exist. At the same time, it is necessary to do well the management of destinations, all the processes of connecting tourism, security control, environmental sanitation need special attention ... The above solutions are implemented synchronously. In the near future, there will be remarkable changes in Bac Giang trade village.
