HÀ NỘI — InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort was honoured in three categories at the World Travel Awards 2018 which took place in Libson, Portugal on Saturday.

We will keep our motto of providing excellent services to bring the most wonderful holiday experiences to our guests.”

A representative from BIM Land said that InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort got top scores in the eyes of customers thanks to its complete construction before it opened for sale. “We are proud of the co-operation between BIM Land and the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) in bringing InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort - a world-recognised resort to Phú Quốc Island. BIM Land will continue to pursue the strategy of co-operating with leading world brands in developing destinations, which will help promote luxury tourism and leverage the Vietnamese luxury tourism to a new height.”
