Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading centers of finance and commerce, and the country is also a hub for numerous major corporations with headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region. With a blend of Western and Eastern cultures, a vast variety of cuisines, and a developed entertainment industry, Hong Kong is the most loved destination for tourism and shopping for many travellers.

Dubbed “the Pearl Island”, Phu Quoc belongs to the southern province of Kien Giang in Vietnam. As one of the most talked-about tourism destinations in Asia, Phu Quoc has attracted strong levels of investment in hotels and resorts in recent years.

With this new service linking Phu Quoc and Hong Kong, Vietjet aims to not only create more convenient traveling opportunities for locals and tourists in both countries but also further fly the flag for this stunning island and contribute to the growth of tourism and trade on this amazing destination.
