The delegation was introduced to several world-class landmarks and performances.

Ms. Weichun Liu, CEO of the world-leading travel platform KKday, expressed her amazement at Phú Quốc’s development. She highlighted not only its infrastructure & hotels but also its vibrant shows, night markets, and interconnected ecosystem. "I see a place that is continuously growing," she said.

A Promising Future For Phú Quốc

Ms. Nguyen Vu Quynh Anh, CEO of Sun Hospitality Group under SunGroup, shared the company’s ambitious plans for Phú Quốc’s future.

Upcoming projects in the Sun Paradise Land ecosystem include the Rixos Phu Quoc—the first all-inclusive resort in Southeast Asia—and Aspira Tower. Additionally, the ultra-luxury Ritz Carlton Reserve and The Luxury Collection hotels will open on Hòn Thơm Island. Other projects, such as the Sun Hospital and a beachfront plaza at Bãi Đất Đỏ, are also underway.

This represents a 73.4% increase compared to 2023, far exceeding expectations.
