Phu Quoc promotes tourism to attract local visitors
In addition to offering discounts to
local residents, Kien Giang province is also looking to exploit night
flights to Phu Quoc to attract tourists.
Kien Giang Department of Tourism announced that in the first 6 months of
2024, Kien Giang welcomed about 5.4 million visitors. Of which,
international visitors were estimated at more than 500,000, with total
tourism revenue of more than 13,300 billion VND.
Promotion for Kien Giang people to travel to Phu Quoc
To attract visitors, in the near future, Sun World Hon Thom Phu Quoc will
launch a promotion for Kien Giang people traveling to Phu Quoc. Accordingly,
local people will experience the cable car ride through Hon Thom and Cau Hon
for 250,000 VND/person.
Here, visitors can swim, dive to see corals and then visit Vui Phet night
market in Hoang Hon town (An Thoi ward). In particular, they can experience
puppet shows and street music that are typical of Vietnamese culture.
Mr. Du To Tuan - Director of Vietravel Rach Gia City Branch - said that Ho
Chi Minh City and the Western region are potential tourist markets. Tourists
can conveniently take the initiative to rent a car to travel with their
families to Phu Quoc for fun. The company is also currently applying a
promotion program of buying a tour and getting a free tour.
"Tourists who book tours to Phu Quoc and some other destinations with a
payment value of 10 million VND or more will receive a ticket from the
company to experience some eco-tourism destinations to explore the cultural
beauty of local people," said Mr. Tuan.
Exploit night flight products to Phu Quoc
Kien Giang Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion said that
Vietnam Airlines Corporation sent a document inviting cooperation to promote
tourists to use night flights to Phu Quoc.
Vietnam Airlines hopes that the Provincial People's Committee, Kien Giang
Department of Tourism and local tourism businesses will pay attention to
building a package of accommodation products combined with air tickets by
exempting or reducing 80% for tourists on the first night.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Anh - Deputy Director of Kien Giang Center for Investment,
Trade and Tourism Promotion - said that the center has just coordinated with
Phu Quoc City People's Committee, relevant units and local tourism service
businesses to hold a meeting to discuss related content.
After that, the center reported to the People's Committee of Kien Giang
province about cooperation in promoting tourists to use Vietnam Airlines'
night flight products and will be determined to coordinate to implement this
program into a Kien Giang tourism product.
The locality requested Vietnam Airlines to complete specific night flight
products such as: 9pm flight time, ticket price policy, ticket cancellation
and change policy and send them to Kien Giang Department of Tourism and Phu
Quoc City People's Committee.
Phu Quoc City People's Committee will take the lead in developing a
cooperation plan for the program to use night flight products and meet with
relevant departments, branches and units to implement it, contributing to
stimulating tourism to Phu Quoc.
