Nguyen Vu Khac Huy, Chairman of the provincial Tourism Association, said Phu Quoc’s tourism boom is driven by expanded air connectivity, a surge in high-end resorts, visa exemptions, and recognition in global travel rankings.
International flight routes have been expanded, linking Phu Quoc directly with key markets such as the South Korea, China, Singapore, and Thailand, while the upgraded international airport now handles millions of passengers annually.
Luxury accommodation has also flourished, with major investors developing resorts, entertainment complexes, and casinos, creating distinctive tourism offerings.
Favorable policies, including a 30-day visa exemption for international visitors, along with intensified promotion and international cultural and sporting events, have further enhanced the island’s attractiveness.
The island is gearing up for peak holiday demand during the Hung Kings Commemoration Day break during April 25-27 and the Reunification Day and International Labor Day holidays on April 30 – May 3 with visitor numbers expected to rise by more than 40% year-on-year.
Authorities have instructed tourism businesses to ensure service quality, safety, and compliance, while encouraging new products, promotions, and entertainment activities.
Visitors can explore trekking routes in primary forests, wildlife parks, fishing villages, and traditional fish sauce-making, as well as cultural-historical sites such as the Nguyen Trung Truc Temple and Phu Quoc Prison.
