Visa exemption for all visitors, world-class infrastructure and a diverse range of recreational experiences are the key factors propelling Phu Quoc into the new spotlight for MICE tourism.

In Viet Nam, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) tourists from travel companies account for an average of 15-20 per cent of total visitors. The number can reach up to 60 per cent at some large companies during peak months.

Amid this trend, Phu Quoc has recently risen as a new MICE tourism paradise thanks to special visa policy and an increasing number of attractive experiences and high-standard infrastructure.

Special visa policy

Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Viet Nam with a special visa policy. Foreigners and Vietnamese holding foreign passports who enter, exit from, and reside in Phu Quoc Island are exempt from visas with a temporary stay period of up to 30 days.

This 30-day visa-free policy simplifies procedures for MICE groups, which often have large numbers of participants.

Thanks to this policy, many international flights operate in Phu Quoc, with frequent services from countries, including South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia.
