Con Cuong district is an attractive tourist destination in the Western region of Nghe An as well as the whole country, attracting many domestic and international tourists.

Many typical products of Con Cuong district are still facing some difficulties such as: small production scale, outdated technology, lack of investment capital; product designs, models, and packaging have not been innovated. There are still few products with registered trademarks and intellectual property. Along with that, the products are always facing fierce competition pressure in the market.
