Hoi An makes it on top 25 best destinations
The renowned tourism website TripAdvisor has recently announced its list of World top 25 destinations 2017 in which Hoi An ancient town in Quang Nam province is ranked 13th.
About 30 km south of central Da Nang City, Hoi An is a well-preserved example of the important Southeast Asian trading port it was from the 15th-19th centuries. According to TripAdvisor, Hoi An is an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign visitors.
The co-existence of indigenous customs and habits and those imported by foreign settlers creates a distinctive look which lures visitors to the ancient town. Ideal weather and sun-drenched beaches are also bonus points for the town. Yet, TripAdvisor recommends the locality to improve accommodation infrastructure to meet the continuously rising demand of visitors.-VNA
