HỘI AN — The Hội An Memories Land – a complex of tourism, art performance, entertainment and resort & spa in the middle of the Thu Bồn River – has been named the World Leading entertainment destination 2022 at the World Travel Awards in Oman.

A representative of the complex said the award ceremony took place on November 11, and the certificate of the world leading entertainment destination was voted on by voters of the 29th annual World Travel Awards.   

The complex, which is the first and only combined art performance and resort in the UNESCO-recognised world heritage site of Hội An and the tourism hub in central Việt Nam, was designed as a ‘green’ site for domestic and international tourists.

It also hosts the Ký Ức Hội An (Hội An Memories) – a 60-minute show on the 400-year history and development of Hội An during the Đại Việt (Great Việt) State in the 15th-18th century -- on the open-air stage in the middle of the Thu Bồn River.

The art performance features the daily life activities of people in Hội An including silk trade, ceramic production, folk performances, busy trade and the culture of Japanese, Chinese and European through visits by merchant ships to Hội An trading port during the 14th century.
