Travel and Tour World: “With Sun Group leading the way, Phu Quoc’s future looks brighter than ever”

In its latest article, Travel and Tour World notes that Phu Quoc is entering what may be its most dynamic development phase since being positioned as Vietnam’s premier resort destination. A major catalyst, the publication argues, is the growing involvement of private economic groups such as Sun Group in aviation, infrastructure, hospitality, and large scale tourism development.

According to the US outlet, what sets Phu Quoc apart from its earlier growth phase is a shift from spontaneous expansion to a more integrated and deliberate development model. Sun Group is cited as a prime example, with its ecosystem approach to tourism that simultaneously addresses core pillars of the industry, including transport infrastructure, aviation, luxury accommodation, and large scale entertainment offerings. Travel and Tour World describes this ecosystem model as a critical foundation for sustainable, long term competitiveness.

One of the most notable developments highlighted by Travel and Tour World is the launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways. The publication emphasizes that the airline represents more than added transport capacity. It reflects a strategic ambition to proactively connect Phu Quoc with key domestic and international tourism markets. In an increasingly competitive regional landscape, ease of access is identified as a decisive advantage.

Travel and Tour World reports that Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ route development strategy follows a clear roadmap, starting with major economic and tourism hubs within Vietnam before expanding to direct international routes. This approach reduces reliance on transit points and enhances the island’s appeal to international travelers who favor destinations with seamless connectivity. Travel and Tour World’s analysis indicates that Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ network development strategy follows a clear roadmap, starting with connections to major domestic economic and tourism centres before expanding internationally through direct routes. This approach helps reduce reliance on transit hubs while enhancing the island’s appeal to international travellers who prioritise ease of access.

Alongside aviation, Travel and Tour World underscores Sun Group’s role in bringing leading global hotel and resort brands to Phu Quoc. The presence of world class luxury hospitality names has contributed to reshaping how the island is perceived on the international tourism map, transforming it from an emerging destination into an iconic choice for resort tourism in Southeast Asia.

When compared with well known island destinations such as Phuket and Bali, Travel and Tour World observes that Phu Quoc benefits from being a “late starter” that has been systematically developed from the outset. While many established destinations are approaching saturation, Phu Quoc still retains substantial room for growth, particularly as infrastructure and its tourism ecosystem are being completed in tandem.

The US outlet notes that Sun Group’s role extends beyond developing individual projects to helping shape the destination’s long term strategy. As aviation infrastructure is strengthened, the luxury resort system becomes increasingly complete, and new tourism products continue to be introduced, Phu Quoc is gathering all the necessary conditions to attract high quality international visitor flows.

The combination of resort, entertainment, and premium services is gradually transforming Phu Quoc into a multi experience destination. Visitors come not only for beach holidays but also for entertainment, wellness, gastronomy, and cultural exploration. The island now boasts experiences found nowhere else, including the world’s longest three rope cable car, the iconic Kiss Bridge with its unique non touching design, and its status as the only island in the world to host two fireworks shows every night, 365 days a year. These diverse offerings help extend visitor stays and increase tourism spending.

Overall, the publication assesses Phu Quoc’s outlook in the coming years as highly positive. As the Pearl Island continues to strengthen its position on the regional tourism map, Travel and Tour World concludes that with Sun Group’s involvement, Phu Quoc’s future is “brighter than ever”, not only for Vietnam’s tourism industry but also within the broader Asia Pacific tourism landscape.
