Vietnam authorities have announced plans to reopen the resort island of Phu Quoc to vaccinated foreign visitors in late November after almost two years of closure.
A beautiful holiday destination located off Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc island boasts white-sandy beaches and clear blue waters, mountains and jungles. In 2019, it attracted 670,000 visitors from international arrivals as authorities hope to turn it into a tourist holiday destination in the style of Thailand’s Phuket or Indonesia’s Bali.
According to this news site, “charter flights” for international travellers with vaccine passports will be welcomed to the island from 20th November, and between late December and the end of March, the island is looking to receive up to 5,000 foreign arrivals on similar flights.
Tourists will need to show vaccine certificates together with a negative Covid-19 test result before being allowed in.
