As part of the southern Kiên Giang Province, Phú Quốc is known as “Pearl Island”, the largest island in Việt Nam. Being a famous travel destination, Phú Quốc has attracted significant investment in tourism and resort real estate, the airline said in a statement.

According to the management board of the Phú Quốc Economic Zone, the district has 279 potential projects in tourism, housing, agriculture, public service and forestry.

The total investment in the projects is worth VNĐ361 trillion (US$15.4 billion)

Since 2015, it has received 4.7 million visitors, 20.5 per cent of them foreigners. — VNS
