So far, the participation of the population of Hoi An has largely
been of Type I, II and III. Local residents and members of the
general public of Hoi An mainly participate in tourism management
as beneficiaries, contributors of information and resources or
implementers. The public has no major role in the decision-making
process and therefore limited control over the outcome of tourism
plans. Outcomes primarily reflect the opinions and priorities of the
decision-makers.
