With this momentum, experts predict Phu Quoc is entering a new growth phase akin to Bali (Indonesia) or Phuket (Thailand) in their prime.
Mr. Bui Quoc Thai, Director of An Giang Provincial Department of Tourism, highlighted that recent years have seen strategic investments in tourism infrastructure, effectively leveraging spiritual, ecological, and island tourism. “Destinations like Sam Mountain, Tra Su Cajuput Forest, Ha Tien, Hon Son, Nam Du, and especially Phu Quoc, continue to captivate visitors,” he stated.
“The province’s tourism sector is sustaining growth in the final months while refining sustainable and professional development strategies, positioning itself to capitalize on the shift of international tourists to the Southwest region,” Mr. Thai added.
