Phu Quoc Island is at the forefront of Asia, praised by the US newspaper as a paradise in Vietnam

Recently, the famous American travel website - Travel Off Path - announced a list of the 5 fastest-growing destinations in Southeast Asia, in which Phu Quoc Island (Kien Giang) is honored to be at the top of the list.

Travel Off Path says that Phu Quoc, a little-known island in Vietnam, is increasingly attracting international tourists with "reasonably priced luxury resorts and beautiful white sand beaches surrounded by green coconuts". The American travel website also emphasizes that "the vibrant night markets and attractive amusement parks on the island" are the highlights that create unforgettable experiences for visitors.

In addition, Travel Leisure magazine has listed Phu Quoc in the list of "25 most inspiring places to travel in 2025", on par with world-famous destinations such as Phuket (Thailand), Hawaii (USA) and Great Barrier Reef (Australia).

According to Nhan Dan newspaper, information from the Vietnam National Tourism Administration said that after three years since global tourism fully recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic, Southeast Asia is gradually asserting its position as the world's leading destination, ready to compete with regions such as the Americas and Europe.

Aviation A2Z, India's leading aviation website, also recorded record aviation growth in Southeast Asia, with a sharp increase in international transport capacity at many airports. This marks important milestones in the rapid development of the regional aviation market.

In January 2025, Phu Quoc Airport has recorded significant growth with more than 108,000 additional seats, equivalent to an increase of about 185.2% compared to the previous year. This is the highest growth rate among airports in Southeast Asia.

Phu Quoc, the largest island in Vietnam, is asserting its position on the international tourism map. With its pristine natural landscapes, fine white sand beaches and clear blue waters, Phu Quoc has been called the "Hawaii of Vietnam" by many international magazines and travel websites.

One of the highlights of Phu Quoc is that the cost of travel is more affordable than popular destinations such as Phuket or Bali. According to Travel Off Path magazine, the price of a mid-range room in Phu Quoc is only about 14 USD, while high-end resorts such as Wyndham Grand cost about 68 USD per night. This helps visitors to enjoy a high-class vacation without worrying about costs.

According to Thanh Nien newspaper, Phu Quoc owns many beautiful beaches such as Bai Sao, Bai Khem, Bai Dai with fine white sand and clear sea water. Visitors can participate in activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring trails leading to beautiful waterfalls such as Tranh stream and Tien stream. In addition, experiencing Hon Thom cable car - the longest 3-wire cable car in the world - is also a highlight not to be missed when coming to Phu Quoc.

Visitors can also admire the artistic fireworks display at Sunset Town - the only place in the world to hold two fireworks displays on the same night. The Bridge - a bridge with a unique "touchless" design, once praised by CNN - is the perfect sunset spot for those who love romantic space and novel experiences.

Phu Quoc cuisine is highly appreciated for its fresh, diverse seafood and reasonable prices. Visitors can enjoy specialty dishes at the lively night markets or coastal eateries. The cultural diversity and hospitality of the locals also contribute to creating a memorable experience for visitors when visiting Pearl Island.

In recent years, Phu Quoc has invested heavily in infrastructure and tourism services. High-end resorts, hotels, and restaurants have sprung up to meet the growing demand of travelers. Entertainment services such as VinWonders Phu Quoc - the largest amusement park in Vietnam - and Safari Phu Quoc also attract a large number of visitors.

With the advantages of nature, infrastructure and services, Phu Quoc is moving forward to become the "Hawaii of Asia". The visa exemption for international tourists for 30 days and the increase in direct flights from many countries have created favorable conditions for tourists to explore Pearl Island.

Phu Quoc is not only an ideal destination for those who love blue sea and white sand, but also a convergence of culture, cuisine and unique experiences. With the potential and investment in development, Phu Quoc deserves to be known as the "Hawaii of Vietnam", promising to bring visitors unforgettable experiences.

Not stopping there, Phu Quoc was also chosen as the venue for the Asia-Pacific Economic Forum (APEC) in 2027. This event not only helps Vietnam affirm its international position but also opens up great opportunities for Phu Quoc to develop, gradually rise to become a leading tourism, economic and service center in the region, and improve global competitiveness.
