Hoian travel has sold tickets for package tours of the town since 1995. Seventy percent of the money raised from the ticket price is used on restoring and preserving historical and ancient relics.
UNESCO appreciates this money as it aids then in many areas of restoration and preservation.
Nearly VND200 billion (US$100,000) has been collected from selling tickets and VND144 billion has been given to the preservation fund.
Hoian is considered as one of the best destinations of Vietnam travel which attracts many tourists every year.
