1. Phu Quoc is one of the most inspiring destinations in the world

The prestigious travel magazine Travel + Leisure has just released its list of the "25 Most Inspiring Travel Destinations for 2025". Two destinations in Asia, Phu Quoc (Vietnam) and Phuket (Thailand), along with Hawaii (USA), the Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Reykjavik (Iceland), and Machu Picchu (Peru), are among the renowned destinations featured on this list.

Phu Quoc earned its spot among the top 25 most inspiring destinations thanks to its breathtaking beauty, described by Esha Dasgupta of Travel + Leisure as something that can "melt the hearts of travelers." The magazine also recommends must-visit attractions on this "Pearl Island."

These include lively night markets, stunning turquoise beaches, thrilling diving experiences, a wide variety of unique seafood, and the rich biodiversity of Phu Quoc National Park. Visitors can also enjoy a ride on the world’s longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island and explore popular spots like Duong Dong Night Market and the national park. These captivating experiences define the charm of Phu Quoc.

Every evening at Sunset Town, the program features 400 fireworks displays and 40 special effects.
