Looking to open new tourist office in Vietnam where should i go Hue or Hoi An?
I recently purchased a tour agency here in Hanoi, I have been living in Vietnam now roughly for the last 3 years and been monitoring tourist flow and traffic throughout Vietnam. Both places have oppertunity, but im lookiing for people that have traveled there and what kind of tours they had purchased in those city and the satisfaction level of said cities. So roughly what city did you have the worst tour experience for the money you paid Hue or Hoi An, Vietnam?

I have "toured" both Hoi An and Hue. I would probably pick Hue over Hoi An if I had the same opportunity as you. My opinion is based on size and number of attractions. Hoi An is basically Old Town, which can be walked through in about half a day with the highlight being shopping for tailored clothes. Hue has the Nguyen Temples, the Purple City, the Perfume River, etc. Hue has many more things to see and more reason to consult a tourist office. I thought Hoi An reeked the scent of being tourist trap while Hue seems much more majestic. Having been to both, I would revisit Hue because I enjoyed the experience and want to see more. I would visit Hoi An again only if I want a tailored suit. You really can't go wrong with either choice. Both cities have an abundance of tourists flocking into the streets. Choosing a busy traffic location is going to be more important than which city. Good luck!

George, I am prejudiced toward Hoi An because I live here but the previous answerer had some good points. . Remember that the beach area between Hoi An and Danang is growing exponentially. Many new attractions are beginning to be explored, (like our Jet Ski Tour company) You will do will in either city so good luck and make it fun for yourself.

Think Hue is more of a destination than Hoi An where many are stoping as the pass through on their way up or down the coast (maybe that's only me). Everyone seems to offer day tours in Hue but there are many places to lead tours too, probably more than Hue. Personally I think I would go for an office in Da Nang. Big city with loads of destinations close by and from what I've seen not many tour offices. Doug
