Over the past 24 hours, the Hoi An tourism market has recorded strong shifts towards environmental protection, highlighted by the boom of next-generation smart electric motorbike rental services. Below is a synthesis of the 5 latest news updates reflecting this green trend in the ancient town.
The biggest breakthrough in the last 24 hours is the completion of a chain of 15 next-generation smart battery-swapping stations at key traffic gateways leading into Hoi An Ancient Town and surrounding areas like An Bang Beach and Cam Thanh. This 2-minute battery-swapping technology completely resolves tourists' anxiety about running out of battery mid-journey. Major local EV rental companies have simultaneously converted 70% of their fleet to compatible modular battery standards, optimizing tourists' exploration journeys without waiting for charging.
To attract both domestic and international travelers during the low season, Hoi An's electric vehicle rental alliance has launched the "Green Town, Green Ride" super promotion. Specifically, customers renting electric motorbikes for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 25% discount on the total rental cost, a free GPS-integrated digital eco-tourism map, and free drink vouchers at 5 iconic cafes in the ancient town. The program, starting today and running until the end of next month, has already driven a 35% surge in online bookings.
The People's Committee of Hoi An City has just issued a directive prioritizing zero-emission transportation in the heritage buffer zone. Accordingly, petrol-powered motorbikes will face stricter operating hour limitations on several key routes. This decision immediately stimulated a remarkable growth in electric motorbike rental services. Rental shops reported a doubling of advance booking inquiries compared to weekdays, confirming the leading position of green vehicles in the near future.
An alliance of three major travel agencies in Hoi An has officially launched a new tourism product: the "Hoi An Eco-Rider Tour." Utilizing 100% high-tech battery-swapping electric motorbikes, the tour takes tourists to explore traditional craft villages such as Tra Que Vegetable Village, Thanh Ha Pottery Village, and the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. Thanks to their quiet, emission-free, and smooth operation, these tours have received highly positive feedback from European and South Korean tourist segments, opening up promising directions for sustainable travel.
To enhance safety for international tourists, electric motorbike rental agencies in Hoi An have comprehensively upgraded their smart fleet management systems. All rental electric scooters are now equipped with multi-language GPS navigation systems and smart locks controlled via mobile apps. Tourists can easily locate their vehicles, lock/unlock them remotely, and receive automatic alerts when entering restricted or one-way streets in the ancient town. This technology significantly minimizes unexpected traffic incidents for foreign travelers.
