The Island Paradise
Phu Quoc Island is becoming a magnet for local and foreign tourists. Experts from the World Travel Organization have rated it as comparable to the world's 12 most famous tourist islands.
Before 2000, Phu Quoc was still a strange spot on Vietnam's tourist map. There were three weekly flights between the island and HCM City. According to Vietnam Airlines' statistics, 30,000 passengers traveled on the route in 2000, 50% of whom were locals. Things have changed significantly over the past two years, though. As tourists have come in droves to explore the new landmark, Vietnam Airlines has increased its flights to two a day. At present, there are sometimes as many as five flights a day between HCM City and Phu Quoc, with 70% of the passengers being tourists. Phu Quoc is becoming a hot property for the tourism industry.
Phu Quoc is rated as a "newly found paradise", with rich tourist resources and the primeval beauty of mountains, forests, beaches and springs.
Its mountains have fascinating scenery such as the Tien (Fairy) Spring, Tau Ru and Ong Doi capes, and Da Ban Waterfalls. In particular, the island has 150 kilometers of breath-taking, pristine beaches that have only started to be tapped for tourism. Foremost are the Sao, Kem, Dai and Cua Can beaches.

The weather is suitable for tourism all year round. International tourists usually flock to Phu Quoc from October to April.
