Many achievements were gained in the competition, which contributes to the promulgation of Hoi An's image in particular and Vietnam culture in general. In 2013, Interkultur kept choosing and coordinating with Hoi An to organize the 3rd Vietnam International Choir Competition (June 19-22, 2013). It showed that Hoi An was defining its position and influence as a tourism city and most loved city in the world as well. The international musical art is a great chance to promulgate the image of Hoi An to the locals and foreigners widely and profoundly.

Continuing the success of the previous competitions, the 4th event is expected to bring many wonderful performances to the public. The competition will end on May 3, 2015. Mr. Dinh Hai, Director of Quang Nam Tourism, Sports and Culture Department said that the International Choir Competition is the reunion of choral art lovers. It is also an opportunity to exchange and discuss music; thereby, it enhances cultural understanding between peoples, deepens relations of friendship, solidarity and international cooperation and exchanges.
