Ranking 7th in the list of the 10 best cities in the Asia-Pacific region, Ho Chi Minh City is an important economic, cultural, and political center of the country (Vietnam), possessing allure and charm through the intersection of past and present, and between ancient architecture and the vibrant urban lifestyle. It is home to a diverse array of cultural and historical values such as the Independence Palace, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the City Post Office, specialized museums, and interesting attractions like Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Ben Thanh Market, and the Saigon River…Additionally, after the first metro line of the city becomes operational in late 2024, it marks an important new step in infrastructure development, while enhancing the tourist experience, helping visitors easily connect and explore destinations more conveniently and quickly, thereby creating momentum to strongly boost the city’s tourism in this new phase.
Ranked third in the list of the 10 best islands in the Asia-Pacific region, Phu Quoc affirms its position as one of the most attractive and famous resort destinations, attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists.
“The ‘Emerald Island’ captivates with its pristine nature, turquoise beaches, soft white sandy shores, shady palm trees, vibrant coral reefs, and a rich ecosystem of flora and fauna. Tourists can immerse themselves in the azure waters, relax while watching the sunrise and sunset, or fully enjoy countless exciting beach activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, jet skiing, and parasailing. Additionally, strolling through the national park, fishing, visiting temples, and savoring distinctive local cuisine also provide travelers with memorable experiences. Not only does Phu Quoc “wear” rare natural beauty, but it is also marked by the rapid development of its accommodation and infrastructure, such as luxury hotels, resorts, world-class entertainment complexes, the longest cable car system in the world, and spectacular artistic performances, all contributing to making Phu Quoc a top beach tourist paradise in the region.”
