Le Trung Thuc, Lobby Manager at Sunset Sanato Resort & Villas Phu Quoc, told us, “We have launched tourism stimulus packages in cooperation with the Kien Giang provincial Department of Tourism and the local Tourism Association. Visitors can stay for two nights and pay for just one or get free accommodation and pay only for their food. We also provide free spa services and free airport pick-up.”

To attract Vietnamese tourists, tourism companies in Phu Quoc have banded together to create reasonably-priced tours of Phu Quoc.
