In a move that’s sure to backfire, there are reports coming out of Hoi An that the city has started to charge a $6 entrance fee to access its famous old town area.
Rumors of the new policy are circulating on Twitter and Trip Advisor with both residents and tourists taking issue with the entrance fee.
Now a ticket booth at every entrance to the old town, pedestrians signs stating ticket needed to enter. $6 to walk? A step too far Hoi An.

Vietnam has long been pressed to step up its tourism services but we fear that this is a step in the opposite direction.
