In addition to the activities mentioned above, the leaders of Hoi An city have welcomed and met with representatives from the city of Melbourne to discuss cooperation, promote cultural exchange, and connect tourism to the Australian market. Furthermore, the city has also engaged with event organizing units, associations, youth business clubs, and travel agencies that will serve as bridges for future activities.

Hoi An's international activities and cultural exchanges have been expanding recently ever since becoming a member of the global Creative Cities Network. Through this event, there is an opportunity to strengthen cooperation and development between Vietnam and Australia in general, Hoi An and Melbourne in particular. By introducing valuable cultural destinations, it is hoped that Hoi An will attract Australian tourists to visit in the near future.
