British newspaper calls Phu Quoc a destination that “has everything”

During the year-end tourist season, when European tourists start planning their vacations, Phu Quoc suddenly receives a lot of attention from Express UK - one of the mass media sites with the largest daily readership in the UK.

In an article about the new travel trends of British tourists in Southeast Asian countries, Express suggests that instead of the familiar Thailand, tourists should choose nearby destinations with “more reasonable costs and more beautiful beaches”. Among them, Phu Quoc is the most typical choice.

Citing many comments from international visitors, including those who have traveled to both Thailand and Vietnam, Express emphasized that "if you have a 3-week trip to Southeast Asia, spend all of it in Vietnam". In particular, Phu Quoc is the most recommended destination by many visitors. The British newspaper cited a video by Geek Wandering - a travel vlogger with nearly half a million followers, who spent a lot of time talking about the Pearl Island. He praised the white sand, blue sea, peaceful temples and especially the feeling of "having it all" that Phu Quoc brings, from nature to culture, while the cost is still more affordable than many familiar destinations in the region.

Not only Geek Wandering, many other tourists also commented that Phu Quoc possesses “majestic landscapes that you have to see with your own eyes to truly believe”, or “beaches that are incredibly beautiful”. Among them, it is impossible not to mention Bai Kem and Bai Sao, two beaches with characteristic fine white sand, crystal clear water, which have been ranked among the most beautiful beaches on the planet.

In addition to its natural beauty, Express also assesses the appeal of Phu Quoc from its unique experiences. Both local cultural experiences and unique experiences in the world at reasonable prices are factors that make British tourists choose Phu Quoc. To confirm that, Express writer Chloe Selvester wrote about her own experience on the world's longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island - an experience that she said was "perfect for admiring paradise".

Hon Thom Cable Car is a "wonderful" journey that every tourist wants to experience when coming to Phu Quoc.

The female reporter described this journey as “beautiful”, when on the cable car line nearly 8km long, suspended at a height of nearly 180m, she could see the entire scene of the emerald green water of An Thoi archipelago. 15 minutes on the cable car between the sky and the sea was wrapped in a scene that Express called “astonishing”, enough to become a reason for tourists to fly halfway around the world to Vietnam.

This is not the first time Hon Thom cable car has been praised by international media. This world record-breaking project is called the most valuable experience in Phu Quoc by Lonely Planet, the world's oldest travel guide. CNN in 2019 also praised the wonderful experience that Hon Thom cable car brings to all visitors.

From the journey of flying on the spectacular cable car, then returning to the colorful streets with street shows in Sunset Town, the record-breaking shows Kiss of the Sea and Symphony of the Sea , two fireworks displays in the same night and a pace of life that lasts until late at night..., that is how Phu Quoc "tells stories" to give international visitors a reason to come back many times.

If in the past, Phu Quoc was often known to British tourists as a new choice besides Thailand, then Express's continuous praise for Phu Quoc - from the story of skipping Thailand to the experience of "having it all" on the Pearl Island - is showing the image of a Pearl Island that is changing dramatically. Phu Quoc is no longer a "rising star", but is becoming a new island tourism paradise in the region, besides the already familiar names like Bali or Phuket.
