Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam reported a notable increase in foreign tourist arrivals during the early months of 2026, with figures showing a 51% rise compared to previous periods. This surge highlights the island’s growing appeal as a travel destination within the region.
Tourism Growth Linked to APEC 2027 Preparations

While specific details about the origin of the visitor increase or the
