Phu Quoc named among most affordable tropical destinations

Travel+Leisure, a prestigious travel magazine of the US with more than 16 million readers, placed Phu Quoc alongside Mérida, the capital city of Mexico’s Yucatan state, Bali of Indonesia, and Negril in Jamaica.

According to the magazine, getting to Phu Quoc does require connecting flights. But “once you arrive at this slice of paradise, it’s an incredible value,” it said.

Dailian – the RoK’s economic journal, identifies Phu Quoc as one of the most typical "healing" destinations in Southeast Asia, with the leading growth rate in the first four months of the year, surpassing Chiang Mai or Bali.

It also clarified that Phu Quoc is emerging as a long-term stay destination, as it is the only place in Vietnam that allows 30-day visa exemption for international visitors.
