HOI AN, Vietnam, March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Hoi An Memories - managed by Gami Theme Park, is an outdoor cultural spectacle 
which started from humble beginnings in the small Vietnamese city of Hoi An and 
has now grown into a global phenomenon. Delivering their opening act less than 
a year ago, the 500 performers in the show have already attracted 500,000 
visitors from around the world. To accommodate the drastic rise, the number of 
shows will be increased to two per night starting from April 26, 2019.

With visitor numbers rising from an initial 50 per night to 1,000 within a 
year's time, Vietnamese officials are using this successful show as an example 
for future tourism projects. 

"Hoi An Memories is a new tourism product that will help increase the length of 
stay of international and local tourists. Quang Nam province will put such 
products into mainstream tourism promotion programs and encourage businesses to 
invest in developing similar products in the province," said Ho Tan Cuong, 
Deputy Director of Quang Nam Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The captivating charm of Hoi An Memories

"The most beautiful in the world" and "A feast for the eyes" is how some of the 
audience described the performance where the skilled dancers give the audience 
a glimpse of how Hoi An developed from a small farming village into a vibrant 
tourists' destination, using breath-taking effects, detailed props and 
intricate and expressive choreography. Czech Republic Ambassador, Vitezslav 
Grepl said, "I am so impressed that I have seen many shows around the globe... 
but this is far the best one that I've ever seen."

Adding to the grandeur of the performance is the 25,000 m(2) stage, the biggest 
outdoor stage in Vietnam, that has been built on a natural island on the Thu 
Bon River.

Moving forward, the show organiser is expecting the number of visitors to 
skyrocket to two million in 2019 with tourists from United States, Europe and 
Asia. Visitors who are scheduled to watch Hoi An Memories from March 20th 
onwards will also be treated to a newly revised spectacle as the organiser 
releases the third time revised show with improved art, sound and lighting.
