In recent years, Phu Quoc Island always has dropped into top the hottest tourist destinations of Vietnam thanks to stunning beaches, warm sea, pretty natural scenes and other plentiful sites for tourists to discover.
Domestic tourists often come to Phu Quoc at weekends or in summer holidays to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, diving, hunting awesome photos and eating fresh seafood. Also, foreign tourists don’t forget to stay here a few days in their Vietnam tour before flying back home.
At the end of 2016, the local authorities set a goal that Phu Quoc must achieve 1.8 millions of tourists coming in 2017. This target is completely viable for many following reasons:
How to get to Phu Quoc
By flight: Daily flights are offered from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc which doesn’t take more than one hour. In case you are in Hanoi, there is the direct flight, too. Besides, Can Tho City and Kien Giang Province also build airports which sell straight flights to Phu Quoc.
By sea: There are daily boat trips from Rach Gia (Kien Giang) to Phu Quoc in the morning and at noon that takes about 2 hours.
Accommodation in Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc offers a lot of hotels and resorts from budget to luxury. Therein, Vinpearl Phu Quoc Resort, La Veranda Resort, Eden Resort and Mango Bay Resort are the best options that provide the greatest services. It is also advised to book your room as earlier as possible in Phu Quoc, especially in the peak season like December or January.
Vietnam visa
If you are tired of complicated procedures, Phu Quoc must be your favourite address. Foreign tourists don’t need to show a Vietnam visa during your stay here. Vietnam visa is exempted for all tourists to stay in Phu Quoc within 15 days.
With such big advantages and great potential for tourism development, Phu Quoc is expecting to welcome 1.8 million tourists in 2017 and it’s no doubt that this gem of Vietnam soon will achieve this target.
