Visitors are recommended to purchase package tours offered by travel companies. They will be allowed to visit entertainment areas and tourist destinations that stay safe from the coronavirus like Rach Gia and Ha Tien cities, and Phu Quoc and Kien Hai island districts.
In the second phase, from December 1 to 31, on the basis of results of the pilot phase and pandemic developments, Kien Giang will welcome visitors from other localities, especially those with direct flights to Phu Quoc like Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Lam Dong, Da Nang and Hai Phong.
Apart from the above-said tourist destinations, holidaymakers can visit Hon Dat, Kien Luong, Kien Hai and U Minh Thuong districts, through package tours or self-guided tours, but must observe COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
The local tourism sector has encouraged travel agents and other service suppliers in the province to renew their products and services to attract visitors, while stepping up promotion activities.
For foreign tourists, Kien Giang will receive a number of charter flights going to its Phu Quoc island from November 20 to test the process of picking up and serving guests with “vaccine passport”./.
