New destination for big events

In November, Phu Quoc happily welcomed 500 guests from Coca-Cola to organize the brand's closing event in the Asia - South Pacific region. In addition to teambuilding and resort activities, this unit also chose a "unique" location in Phu Quoc - the stage of the show "Kiss of the Sea", in Hoang Hon Town for the honor night.

Previously, we can mention the Indian billionaire wedding earlier this year, which lasted for 7 days, with 350 guests, all of whom were from the upper class. Not only did the family book the entire JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort, but they also chose Sunset Town for other ceremonies in the traditional Indian wedding.

The most impressive thing for the bride, groom and guests at Sunset Town was the "wedding hall" right at the stage of the show Kiss of the Sea . In particular, on the night of the ceremony, the stage entertained hundreds of guests with two fireworks displays, creating a grand party right at the beginning of the new year.

The billionaire family planned the wedding 6 months in advance and flew to Phu Quoc 4 times to check, which shows that this island is increasingly meeting the strict requirements of the world's elite.

"The entertainment ecosystem in the south of the island is playing a big role in attracting the super-rich Indians who always want their weddings to be grand," said John Paul Woolley, the resort's general manager.

Meet the necessary and sufficient conditions for global events

According to Atlas Global Events - a global event organizer with over 20 years of experience, there are many factors to choose a perfect international event destination. These include visa requirements, tourism infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, cultural and culinary experiences, especially safety including security and order and complete healthcare infrastructure.

Looking at the "emerging destination" Phu Quoc, this place is also increasingly affirming its high level of response to become the new event center of the world. In terms of accessibility, the island city is the only place in Vietnam with a special visa policy, with a stay of up to 30 days for all international visitors.

In particular, there are more than 20 domestic and international airlines operating direct flights from Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore - the world's transit hub... and many charter flights from UAE, India, Japan, Eastern European countries, Central Asia.

It is expected that by the end of next year, Phu Quoc will complete the international cruise port, with a capacity of 3,000 - 4,000 passengers/time and has plans to upgrade and expand Phu Quoc international airport, to be ready to welcome millions of international visitors each year.

Regarding tourism infrastructure, Phu Quoc currently has 311 projects, with a total investment capital of up to 428,000 billion VND, many of which are super entertainment and resort complexes with high competitiveness domestically and regionally.

Phu Quoc is also the "fertile land" of a series of famous international hotel management brands such as Marriott, Accor, Hilton, IHG... Recently, Phu Quoc has added a badge to its collection of high-class brands when Sun Group signed with Accor&Ennismore, bringing the Rixos brand to Southeast Asia and Vietnam for the first time, in the Rixos Phu Quoc resort project.

Also this month, Sun Group Corporation continued to start the project of Aspira Tower in Hon Thom. Expected to be completed in 2027, the project will become a luxury resort - entertainment - commercial complex including The Luxury Collection Hon Thom hotel, with the expectation of not only meeting the needs of entertainment and meetings but also becoming a new symbol attracting millions of tourists each year to Hon Thom, Phu Quoc.

Phu Quoc also launched the Phu Quoc Sun Hospital project invested by Sun Group. When completed, Phu Quoc Sun Hospital will be equipped with the most advanced machinery system and a team of leading domestic and international consultants and doctors, with full medical examination and treatment departments focusing on pediatrics, cardiology and stroke prevention. With this project, the pearl island continues to score points with tourists, especially high-spending tourists who need long-term stays.

With a panoramic view of the future and high-class tourism products, many experts believe that Phu Quoc fully meets the necessary and sufficient conditions for international events and festivals.
