Travel Off Path has listed the top 5 fastest-growing destinations in Southeast Asia, with Phu Quoc Island taking the top spot.

The achievement of 20 million international visitors in 2025 represents far more than a headline figure. It signals that Vietnam’s tourism ecosystem has reached a level of maturity where infrastructure, destination capacity, product diversity, and service quality are capable of supporting large-scale visitor flows, longer stays, and higher spending.

The Politburo decided to reprimand the Ministry of Health’s Party Affairs Committee for the 2025-2026 term (by February 2025), and expel several officials from Thanh Hoa province, Ho Chi Minh City and former Kien Giang province from the Party for their serious violations of Party regulations and State laws.

With its impressive growth rate and a steadily maturing tourism, resort, and conference infrastructure, the vision of Phu Quoc as an international luxury tourism hub is within reach. The expansion of air routes, the growing presence of global brands, and the increasingly diverse flow of visitors from Asia to Europe are clear indicators for a bright future.

The festival marks a significant milestone in promoting the brand, value, and legacy of traditional fish sauce - a product deeply rooted in the island’s identity and history spanning over 200 years.

To improve awareness and navigation within the MPA, over 1,130 maps outlining the area’s zoning and subzones were printed and distributed.

Phu Quoc ranks among the top 10 leading tourist islands in Asia. As the largest island in Vietnam, it boasts stunning natural beauty, with expansive coral reefs resting beneath the sea and a number of beautiful, poetic beaches such as Sao, Truong, and Khem, known for their fine white sand and crystal-clear waters.

To meet the deadline, the province assigned its Department of Construction to submit the general planning of the island city of Phu Quoc, zoning plans, and detailed plans for approval from July 1.

Party General Secretary To Lam's meeting with local officials on the merger of An Giang and Kien Giang provinces, the Government's regular meeting for May, public investment disbursement results during the first five months are among news highlights on June 4.

He envisaged the mergence as the foundation for a dynamic “mountain – plain – border – sea” development corridor that combines border and maritime economies.

To expedite the project, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung called for the immediate transfer of assets from the Ministry of Construction to local authorities, ensuring that flight operations remain uninterrupted during the valuation and transfer process.

Looking beyond APEC 2027, Kien Giang envisions Phu Quoc as a strategic coastal city with international appeal, targeting development milestones through 2030, 2050, and even further.

Phu Quoc International Airport in Kien Giang province will undergo a major upgrade to support tourism and socio-economic growth, and to serve the 2027 APEC Economic Leaders' Week.

Phu Quoc Airport will be expanded to accommodate up to 18 million passengers per year by 2027, 4.5 times its current capacity of 4 million. By 2050, the airport is expected to handle up to 50 million passengers annually.

CAAV Director Uong Viet Dung said that the airport upgrading project is among projects to be fast-tracked to serve the organisation of the APEC Economic Leaders' Week 2027 in Vietnam, as well as to support sustainable development of the locality and the country.

Deputy PM Dung emphasised that this is a particularly important external task of the Party and State, affirming Vietnam’s role and position on the international stage, while showcasing the results of 40 years of its renewal, creating new momentum and driving force for Kien Giang.
