A diverse range of activities will be held in various locations throughout the central province of Quang Nam to mark 25 years of UNESCO’s recognition of Hoi An Ancient Town as a world heritage site, according to the Hoi An City People's Committee.

The majority of the events will be organised in the Old Quarter of Hoi An from November 23 to December 4 with the aim of evaluating the outcomes of the conservation of world cultural heritage values, whilst actively supporting international friends in both preserving and introducing different aspects of cultural heritages.

Accordingly, exciting activities such as a parade, a seminar, a photo exhibition, and a race will get underway across the locality.

Boasting its own unique values, Hoi An has recently captured great attention from the international media after being voted as the safest destination in the world for solo travelers by Smoky Mountains magazine.

A study recently conducted by The Post Office UK also found Hoi An Ancient Town tops the list of the 10 best value travel destinations for 2024.

Meanwhile, the UK's Time Out magazine also listed the site as one of the top 13 most attractive destinations in the world to travel to in July.
