Korean Air has announced direct flights on the Seoul-Phu Quoc route from late November. Jin Air will start flights from Seoul to Phu Quoc on December 24.
Meanwhile, Jeju Air will resume the Seoul-Phu Quoc air route from October 29.
On Monday, a charter flight transporting 210 tourists from Kazakhstan’s Almaty landed at Phu Quoc.
Tourists in Phu Quoc
According to Bui Quoc Thai, director of the Kien Giang Department of Tourism, Phu Quoc is also expected to welcome a group of Russian travellers on October 24 and 25.
Thai said these are signs of the local tourism sector’s recovery amid a fall in visitor numbers.
Thai added that the province will focus on tourism promotion activities inside and outside the country and call on travel firms to build new and attractive tourism products.
So far this year, visitors to Phu Quoc have decreased by 40-50 percent on-year. This has been partially due to the high airfares.
