Hoi An ranks among the most affordable travel destinations.

The leading UK financial firm, Post Office, conducted a survey called "Holiday Money" to create a ranking of the most affordable travel destinations. Southeast Asia had two locations on this list: Hoi An (Vietnam) and Bali (Indonesia).

The ranking criteria for this list are based on the minimum cost of purchasing eight essential travel items at 46 destinations around the world, including: a cup of coffee, a glass of beer, a can of Coca-Cola, a bottle of mineral water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a meal for two along with a bottle of wine.

The results show that the cost of a day trip in Hoi An is approximately £58.39 (VND 1.87 million), which is higher than the cost on the resort island of Bali - £55.01 (VND 1.76 million).

In Hoi An, a can of beer at a resort costs around £2.85 (91,000 VND). A romantic dinner for two with a set menu including appetizer, main course, and dessert, along with a bottle of wine, costs £34.37 (1.1 million VND), plus a glass of wine for £2.60 (83,000 VND).

Not only is it a World Heritage site and an affordable destination, Hoi An ancient town with beautiful beaches like An Bang and Cua Dai was rated by TripAdvisor as one of the 25 most popular destinations in 2021.

Meanwhile, Sunny Beach in Bulgaria is the world's cheapest travel destination, with tourists spending an average of £27.71 (888,000 VND) per day. Marmaris in Türkiye ranks second with £37.19 (1.2 million VND).
