In the past 24 hours, Hoi An's tourism industry has recorded a strong shift towards a green economy model, specifically a boom in electric motorcycle rental services. Here are the top 5 highlights for travelers and investors:
At resorts in the An Bang and Cua Dai beach areas, more than 200 VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S electric scooters were deployed this morning. This is an effort by rental agencies in partnership with hotel groups to minimize noise and emissions in the Ancient Town. These models are popular due to their range of over 150km per charge, ideal for the Hoi An - Da Nang itinerary.
Leading electric bike rental companies have announced a 20% discount package for customers renting for 3 days or more. Current rental rates range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND/day. Notably, the 'Rent in Da Nang - Drop off in Hoi An' service is becoming a new trend, allowing tourists flexibility without worrying about return transport costs.
To support EV users, a map application integrating fast charging and battery swapping stations in Hoi An has officially updated 15 new locations in the last 24 hours. These stations are concentrated in large parking lots near the Ancient Town and spacious cafes, allowing tourists to charge for free or at a low cost while sightseeing.
Travel agencies in Hoi An have recorded a 35% increase in bookings for countryside tours (Tra Que Vegetable Village, Thanh Ha Pottery Village) using electric scooters. Tourists, especially from Korea and Europe, highly appreciate the quietness and eco-friendliness of EVs compared to traditional petrol bikes.
In the latest meeting, Hoi An authorities reaffirmed the goal of becoming an 'Eco-city.' Transport and rental businesses will receive support for priority parking locations in central areas. This creates a significant lever for EV startups to expand their networks and improve service quality along the Da Nang - Hoi An corridor.
