Hoi An tops the list of Asia's slowest-moving tourist destinations.

(PLVN) - Hoi An has just been ranked at the top of Agoda's list of leading "slow travel" destinations in Asia. With its charming old town, leisurely pace of life, long-standing trading culture, rich cuisine, and many local experiences, Hoi An continues to affirm the special appeal of Vietnamese tourism in the global trend of sustainable tourism.

According to Agoda, more and more international travelers are moving away from packed, rushed itineraries in favor of more meaningful journeys. Instead of trying to "check in" at as many landmarks as possible on a trip, they prioritize experiences that connect them with local culture, cuisine , nature, and way of life.

In this trend, Hoi An is considered a quintessential Asian destination. Its small, peaceful old town is easily explored on foot or by bicycle, making each journey here more leisurely and emotionally enriching.

Beyond its streets illuminated by shimmering lanterns, Hoi An also attracts tourists with its authentic, everyday experiences. Visitors can visit tailor shops to have clothes made to order, participate in cooking classes, enjoy local cuisine, or cycle through the lush green rice fields bordering the ancient town.

Hoi An also clearly preserves the historical imprint of Vietnam's long-standing trade. The intermingling of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese cultures is reflected in the architecture, lifestyle, and cuisine, creating a unique identity for this ancient town.

It is this cultural depth that makes Hoi An not just a tourist destination, but also a place for visitors to feel, slow down, and connect with the local land and people.

Hoi An's inclusion in the list of Asia's outstanding "slow travel " destinations further affirms the attractiveness of Vietnamese tourism in the eyes of the international community. This is also a positive sign for the trend of sustainable tourism development, where local values ​​and emotional experiences are increasingly valued by tourists.

Besides Hoi An, Agoda's list of top slow-paced travel destinations in Asia also includes Ubud in Bali, Indonesia; Kyoto, Japan; Galle, Sri Lanka; Luang Prabang, Laos; Chiang Mai, Thailand; and Kerala, India.
