Phu Quoc named eco-tourism centre

Kien Giang Province's tourism development strategy for 2011-20 seeks to develop Phu Quoc Island into an eco-tourism centre.

The 574sq.km island is set to welcome 1-1.2 million visitors per year by 2015, with foreign tourists accounting for 35 per cent, and earn US$209 million from it.

The island, which offers exploration, ecological, and cultural tourism, is hoping to attract travellers from markets like Northeast Asia, North America, Western Europe, and ASEAN.-VNS
