Currently, there are 21 models wherescience-technology are applied in agricultural and fishery production in PhuQuoc, Minh said, adding that many households have turned local fruits intospecialties.
However, rural tourism in Phu Quoc has yet to match itspotential and advantages due to the lack of planning, connectivity andinvestment, the official said./.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has said it has been working on a pilot plan to bring international tourists to select islands, with Phu Quoc among those considered.
Phu Quoc’s tourism has bounced back since the beginning of May after being hit by Covid-19. The island now welcomes up to 8,000 visitors a day and the figure is expected to reach up to 12,000 in the coming time.
The island paradise of Phu Quoc has significant potential to develop into a leading tourist destination in Southeast Asia. At the moment, however, it is only a second-class city within Vietnam’s administrative structure. Promoting Phu Quoc to a city would certainly help the island fully tap into its potential.
