The government is turning Phu Quoc into a special economic zone that will become a major growth engine for the region. This development promises new jobs, more travel options and fresh business markets, which is why it matters to you.

The new zone will concentrate on high‑value‑added services, marine ecotourism and the digital economy. Total investment is expected to exceed 195 trillion VND by 2030, a scale that could generate many skilled jobs for young people.

In the first 10 months of 2026, Phu Quoc welcomed more than 9.2 million visitors, a 30.4% year‑on‑year rise, and international arrivals topped 2.1 million, up 59.4%. More tourists mean more travel opportunities and a stronger hospitality sector for future workers.

Twenty‑one essential infrastructure projects—including aviation facilities, an international convention centre and urban transport links—are being accelerated to serve APEC 2027 and lasting tourism development. These projects will improve connectivity and create business chances in transport, events and services.

By 2030 the island is projected to post a GRDP of over 66.29 trillion VND and to host around 15 million domestic and international visitors. The roadmap also expects spillover benefits for the wider region, linking Ha Tien, Rach Gia, Kiên Hai and Tho Chau with supply chains in services, maritime transport, food, human resources and healthcare.
