Through the chart, we can see that the products of craft villages in Ben Tre are at a high level (61.63% - 67.39%), proving that the products created by craft villages are attractive to tourists from the production method to the design and quality. This is a strength that needs to be promoted to attract more and more tourists. Products are the vital factor of a craft village. If the products are not accepted by society or tourists do not feel interested, it will be difficult to survive in the long term. Therefore, craft villages must improve their quality, hygiene and safety, and designs to ensure the satisfaction of tourists. In addition, they must preserve cultural traditions in the production method. If they follow modern technology, craft villages must be careful because they can easily lose the characteristics of the craft village, which is handicraft.
