The
potential
of
a
‘prominent
hub
in
Asia’
Before
the
arrival
of
new
luxury
brands,
Phu
Quoc
had
already
made
its
mark
on
the
international
tourism
map
with
its
iconic
collection
of
resorts
frequently
honoured
worldwide.
These
include
the
masterpiece
JW
Marriott
Phu
Quoc
Emerald
Bay,
themed
around
an
unprecedented
university
concept,
and
La
Festa
Phu
Quoc,
the
first
hotel
in
Hilton’s
Curio
Collection
in
Southeast
Asia,
featuring
balconies
offering
direct
views
of
year-round
firework
displays.
Notably,
the
Sun
Paradise
Land
ecosystem
in
Phu
Quoc
has
continuously
been
enriched
with
new
experiences
over
the
past
two
years,
becoming
the
‘trump
card’
that
has
drawn
the
attention
of
global
hospitality
giants.
This
year,
Phu
Quoc
welcomed
about
6
million
visitors,
including
nearly
1
million
international
arrivals,
surpassing
92
per
cent
of
the
annual
plan
and
achieving
a
70
per
cent
year-on-year
increase.
The
influx
of
top-tier
hospitality
brands
is
expected
to
boost
direct
flight
routes
to
Phu
Quoc.
Rixos,
a
brand
originating
in
Turkey
and
thriving
in
the
Middle
East,
is
expected
to
help
Pearl
Island
welcome
new
routes
from
the
UAE,
Qatar
or
Oman
–
one
of
the
busiest
transit
hubs.
Meanwhile,
brands
like
The
Luxury
Collection
and
Ritz
Carlton
Reserve
will
attract
‘super
luxury’
individuals,
business
moguls
and
billionaires.
Mehmet
Kin,
Vice
President
of
Crystal
Bay
Group,
said:
“Thailand
with
Phuket
and
Pattaya
used
to
be
very
famous
destinations,
but
in
my
opinion,
Phu
Quoc
is
much
better
because
the
infrastructure
is
ready,
the
facilities
are
new,
the
services
are
superior
and
especially,
the
people
always
smile.
That
is
very
important.”
According
to
many
leading
global
travel
businesses,
with
the
potential
Phu
Quoc
currently
holds,
this
island
should
be
compared
to
world-class
tourism
icons
like
Hawaii
or
the
Maldives.
“When
infrastructure,
including
roads
and
tourist
attractions,
are
fully
developed,
we
will
witness
the
emergence
of
the
‘Hawaii
of
the
East,'”
added
Hong
Jung
Min,
CEO
of
Hanatour
Vietnam.
