In the last 24 hours, the Hue tourism market recorded a major step forward as Xanh SM officially announced the expansion of 10 additional self-driving electric motorcycle rental points around the Hue Railway Station and the Imperial City area. This effort aims to meet the surge in railway tourists. The vehicles used are primarily VinFast Feliz S and Evo200, boasting a range of up to 150-200km per full charge. This service allows tourists to book vehicles directly via a mobile app, optimizing a noise-free and emission-free travel experience in the heritage city.
Local startups like Hue Green Ride have launched their biggest promotion of the year titled 'Green Ancient Capital Summer.' Reports show that electric motorcycle rental prices currently range from 120,000 VND to 150,000 VND per day. The program applies to groups of three or more or guests staying at partnered homestays. Notably, this rental package includes free battery swapping at 5 central locations, giving tourists peace of mind to explore distant sites like Gia Long Tomb or Tam Giang Lagoon without worrying about power.
The Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism recently met to discuss integrating electric motorcycles into the 'Heritage Route' project. Accordingly, the government will prioritize dedicated lanes and free parking areas for electric motorcycles at key sightseeing spots. This trend not only protects ancient architectural landscapes from the impact of gasoline emissions but also creates a modern and civilized tourism image. Electric motorcycle rental companies are quickly updating integrated charging station maps on Google Maps to assist users in locating them more conveniently.
At 5-star hotels such as Silk Path and Azerai La Residence, premium electric motorcycle rental services are becoming the top choice for international tourists, especially those from Europe and South Korea. The invested electric motorcycles feature stylish designs, integrated GPS, and safe ABS braking systems. According to management reports, the rate of guests inquiring about electric vehicle rentals increased by 40% compared to the same period last month. Providers are ramping up self-guided tours using electric vehicles with integrated digital guides.
The final notable news in the past 24 hours is the inauguration of a smart fast battery swapping station near the Dong Ba Market area. This is the 15th battery swapping station in Hue city, allowing renters to swap batteries in just 2 minutes instead of waiting hours for a charge. This infrastructure completion has encouraged rental units to invest heavily in increasing their fleet size. The 'Quiet Tourism' trend is truly booming in Hue, where visitors can leisurely ride smooth electric bikes under the ancient trees of the old capital's streets.
