Twice a year, the Hoi An municipal government convenes the
“Sustainably Conserving and Promoting Hoi An World Heritage”
workshop. The workshop is chaired by government officials and
is attended by homeowners, construction company owners and
tourism enterprise operators. Members of the general public are
also permitted to attend.
At the workshops, a representative of Hoi An Centre for
Monument Management and Preservation presents the
conservation activities and results. Workshop participants are
asked for their opinions and feedback about these activities.
Opinions given by members of the public relate to the benefits
and adverse impacts of the conservation activities, behaviour
of tourism operators, changes in the town environment and
resources and other matters relating to the quality of life of
residents in Hoi An.
After discussing these issues, government officials take the
opinions and feedback into consideration before making
decisions.
