During the two pandemic years, Hoi An continued to be recognized by media and prestigious international awards. It was named among the Top 25 Cities in the World 2020, Top 15 Best Cities in Asia 2021, Asia's Leading Cultural City Destination 2021, Top 10 Friendliest Cities in the World 2022, and one of the World's most Romantic Destinations 2022.

Hoi An, known as "the city of titles," evokes the ancient charm of Lijiang in China, the romance of Venice in Italy, and the tranquility of Giethoorn in the Netherlands. After reopening post-COVID-19, the city has seen a rapid increase in tourists.

Hoi An, with its over 1,000 relics, offers nearby attractions like the Cam Thanh coconut forest, Tra Que vegetable village, Thanh Ha pottery village, and Kim Bong carpentry village. Its scenic, cultural, environmental, and service values make it a top multi-experience tourism destination.

Although Hoi An is strictly managed as a special heritage site, it is not "frozen" like a museum. It remains a lively ancient town where the daily activities of the locals continue as usual. The blend of colors, sounds, and rhythms creates a warm, friendly, peaceful, and uniquely romantic atmosphere in Hoi An.
