Tourism-driven Hoi An suspends New Year celebrations
VOV.VN - The ancient city of Hoi An in the central province of Quang Nam has temporarily suspended all cultural and art activities planned to celebrate the New Year amid challenges caused by COVID-19.
This information was announced by the Hoi An municipal People’s Committee on December 29.
This move will see the UNESCO-recognised cultural city suspend a gala night titled ‘Hoi An greets New Year 2022’, scheduled to be staged on New Year’s Eve.
Local authorities will also call off a programme to welcome the first visitors to the city in 2022 which was due to take place on January 1.
However, the decision is not applicable to visitors who have booked tour packages, providing they strictly follow COVID-19 prevention measures.
The city is scheduled to welcome eight groups made up of 400 visitors on New Year’s Day.
