Currently, about 54 flights carry 20,000 arrivals to Phu Quoc Island every day, according to the Department of Tourism of Kien Giang Province, which administers the island regarded as Vietnam s beach paradise.
The number is forecast to increase to 80 flights on the back-to-back holidays of Reunification Day (April 30) and International Workers Day (May 1).
The figures are the result of not only the high demand of summer travel but also the opening of Vietnam’s first-ever ‘sleepless city’ on Phu Quoc an example of the inevitable trend in the tourism industry, in which independent night-time entertainment complexes are established in big cities.
