Over the past 24 hours, Hoi An's tourism infrastructure and services have witnessed strong shifts toward a sustainable tourism model. The explosive growth of electric motorbike rental services, accompanied by advanced battery swapping technology, is becoming a highlight attracting significant attention from domestic and international tourists.
The Hoi An municipal government has officially approved guidelines to expand priority routes for zero-emission vehicles. Latest statistics show that the volume of electric motorbikes used for tourism in the city center and routes connecting to An Bang and Cua Dai beaches increased by 35% year-on-year. Restricting noise and emissions from traditional motor vehicles creates favorable conditions for electric motorbike rental businesses to thrive.
The introduction of smart battery swapping solutions is completely eliminating tourists' range anxiety while exploring Hoi An. In the last 24 hours, major operators such as Selex Motors, in partnership with local rental shops, deployed 5 additional automated battery swapping stations at prime locations including Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Hung Dao streets, and near the Night Market. Tourists riding compatible electric motorbikes need less than 30 seconds to swap for a fully charged battery, enabling continuous travel up to 150 km without waiting to recharge.
To encourage visitors to experience green mobility, major electric rental firms in Hoi An announced various attractive promotional packages. Rental rates currently range from 100,000 VND to 160,000 VND per day depending on the model. Notably, the 'Ride Green - Taste Hoi An' promotion offers an immediate 20% discount for online pre-bookings, along with free delivery to hotels and homestays within a 5km radius.
A quick survey across popular rental hubs on Hai Ba Trung and Cua Dai streets reveals that over 65% of electric motorbike renters in the past 24 hours were international tourists, notably from South Korea, Europe, and Australia. Key reasons for this preference include safety, ease of operation, no strict driving license requirements for mid-power models, and alignment with eco-friendly travel values.
Several 4-to-5-star resorts in Hoi An, such as Anantara Hoi An Resort and Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort, signed strategic agreements with local electric motorbike suppliers. Under the latest agreement, resorts will feature an dedicated electric fleet right in the lobby along with internal charging/swapping stations for staying guests. This integrated experience elevates hospitality service quality while positioning Hoi An as a leading green tourism destination in the region.
