The locality is also speeding up construction of tourism development projects, especially those on Phu Quoc. This year, an expanded terminal was inaugurated at Phu Quoc International Airport, helping raise the airport’s capacity from 2.6 million to 4 million passengers a year.

Next year, the southern province hopes to serve 8.3 million holiday-makers. To that end, it will intensify tourism promotion at home and abroad, while focusing resources on upgrading infrastructure, improving the quality of products as well as the capacity of human resources working in this field.

The province will also put forward preferential policies to attract more investors to local tourism.
