- The UNESCO-recognized natural heritage site of Hoi An town, in the central province of Quang Nam, welcomed and gave a gift to
the fourth millionth visitor of 2010.

The town government gave this special gift to Amelia, a
native from Australia,
on December 7.

Hoi An has sold tickets for package tours of the town since
1995. Seventy percent of the money
raised from the ticket price is used on restoring and preserving historical and
ancient relics.

UNESCO appreciates this money as it aids then in many areas
of restoration and preservation.

Nearly VND200 billion (US$100,000) has been collected from
selling tickets and VND144 billion has been given to the preservation fund.
