PHU QUOC, VIETNAM – January 28 – Known as Vietnam’s “Pearl Island,” Phu Quoc is gearing up for an extraordinary tourism surge in 2024, unveiling a range of enticing attractions and experiences. Previously a serene fishing island, Phu Quoc has undergone a remarkable transformation into a dynamic destination. International travelers are now drawn to not only the island’s pristine beaches but also a host of new tourism offerings, including iconic structures, captivating multimedia shows, cultural attractions, and a luxurious five-star resort with global branding.
Among the remarkable additions is the Kiss Bridge, an architectural marvel by renowned Italian architect Marco Casamonti, offering two 400-meter-long pathways that converge just 30cm apart. Nestled in Sunset Town, this romantic bridge, officially opened in December, has quickly become one of Asia’s most Instagram-worthy locations, symbolizing love and connection. Another highlight is the VUI-Fest Bazaar, Vietnam’s first night market by the sea, showcasing over 40 stalls, theatrical performances, interactive art displays, and eco-friendly practices. Adding to the island’s luxury accommodations, La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton, brings Mediterranean elegance with 197 rooms and suites, pools, a spa, fitness center, and kids’ club.
Phu Quoc’s tourism appeal further escalates with the introduction of the “Kiss of the Sea” multimedia show at Sunset Town. A nightly 25-minute performance on a massive water screen takes spectators on a fantasy journey, culminating in a dazzling fireworks display. The island’s commitment to luxury tourism is underscored by award-winning hotels and resorts, with Marriott International planning to develop Vietnam’s first Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Luxury Collection branded resort on Phu Quoc, adding to the allure of this tropical paradise.
