On April 8th, Mr. Tran Anh, Secretary of Hoi An Party Committee, stated that he had proposed to the city government to delay the plan of dividing and selling tickets to all tourists visiting the old town from May 15th as previously scheduled.
Explaining this, Mr. Anh said that Hoi An will hold meetings with local residents and business owners to find the best solution with the highest consensus, and then hold a public press conference to gradually implement the plan. Currently, the management and control methods to prevent revenue loss while ensuring comfort for tourists are being studied.
"The May 15th deadline will not be implemented because it's not ready yet," said Mr. Anh. He also said that Hoi An needs to learn more from domestic and international experiences to find the optimal solution, only applying it to real tourists.
Currently, visitors to Hoi An's old town who wish to visit certain places with guided tours must purchase tickets, while those who simply walk and dine are free. The ticket price for international tourists is 120,000 dong and 80,000 dong for domestic tourists per trip.
On April 3rd, Hoi An announced that they were implementing a plan to enhance the management of guided tours in the old town, including selling tickets to all tourists and controlling the flow of visitors. The expected time to apply the plan is from May 15th, selling tickets from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily in summer and from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. in winter.
