Over the past 24 hours, the tourism industry in Hue City has recorded a strong shift towards sustainability with the rise of electric motorcycles. Transport and hospitality businesses are simultaneously promoting electric two-wheeler rental services to meet the demand for 'Slow Travel' experiences from international tourists and domestic youth.
Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM) has announced updated pricing and rental packages for VinFast Feliz S electric motorcycles for tourists in Hue. Rental bookings via the app have reportedly increased by 35% compared to the same period last month. Daily rental rates currently range from 120,000 VND to 200,000 VND depending on battery capacity. A highlight is the 24/7 on-site battery rescue service, providing peace of mind for tourists visiting remote tombs like Minh Mang or Gia Long.
Many major hotels in the Le Loi and Vo Thi Sau street areas have signed cooperation agreements with e-motorcycle startups like Evgo and Dat Bike. The 'Stay + E-bike Combo' promotion is being widely applied, offering a direct 20% discount on rentals for online bookings. This not only helps reduce noise in the heritage area but also provides a quiet mode of transport for pilgrims and nighttime Citadel tours.
According to information from the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, fast-charging systems for electric vehicles have begun pilot implementation at the parking lots of 5 main tourist attractions. This is an effort to encourage tourists to move away from traditional gasoline motorcycles. These stations are compatible with most popular electric bike models, allowing an 80% charge in just 30-45 minutes, matching the time a visitor spends touring a monument cluster.
Electric motorcycle rental services are breathing new life into experiential tours of Thuy Xuan incense village and Kim Long garden houses. Due to the emission-free and quiet nature of electric vehicles, tourists can weave through small alleys without disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the local residents. Some rental agencies in Hue have integrated digital maps of 'green' check-in points into QR codes on the bikes for self-guided exploration.
In preparation for major cultural events, electric motorcycle rental units have launched the 'Green Hue Pass' program. Customers who register for this package will enjoy a fixed preferential price with no weekend surcharges and priority parking in festival areas. This is a strategic move to minimize traffic congestion and environmental pollution during the peak tourist season. Experts assess that Hue is becoming a leader in Central Vietnam regarding digital and green transformation in the tourism transport sector.
