The article highlights that Hoi An, once a bustling trading port for centuries, has now become an ideal destination for many tourists due to the affordable prices at local restaurants and bars.
Out of a total of eight popular tourist items, Hoi An leads with three items having low costs: beer (around $1.47), Coca-Cola (around $0.91), and sunscreen (around $4.70). These low costs have helped Hoi An jump from 6th place in 2023 to the top spot in 2024.
According to The Post Office UK, Hoi An is one of Vietnam's most charming cities. It lacks the hustle and bustle of larger cities, allowing visitors to spend their mornings on pristine beaches, afternoons exploring historical sites, and evenings enjoying the best delicacies at Hoi An's night market.
Moreover, Hoi An is also regarded as one of the best places in the world for hotels that provide the best sleep quality, according to the UK Skyscanner Travel Trends Report 2024.
Following Hoi An in this year's list is Cape Town, last year's champion. Consumer costs in South Africa's capital have significantly increased recently. Next are Mombasa in Kenya, Tokyo in Japan, and Algarve in Portugal.
