Earlier, in mid-April, after more than two years of suspension, the Phu Quoc Express high-speed ferry resumed operations on the Sa Ky - Ly Son route, reducing ticket prices ahead of the peak April 30th - May 1st holiday period, amidst rising ticket prices to the special economic zone.

With the addition of the Phu Quoc Express 5 vessel, the Sa Ky - Ly Son route now has 6 vessels in operation, increasing its passenger service capacity.

During this year's peak summer season, Ly Son Island was the domestic destination with the highest search growth rate among recent prominent destinations most searched for by Vietnamese tourists this summer, with searches conducted between January 1st and April 30th, applicable to stays between June 1st and July 31st, as announced by the online travel platform Agoda on May 19th.
