PHU QUOC, THE SHAPE OF FIRST ISLAND CITY IN VIETNAM

Phu Quoc, with nearly 200,000 inhabitants, becomes the first island city in Vietnam. It is reaching out to become a world-class tourist center.
At the age of 50, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Ke, a man with dark skin due to the sun and wind, calloused hands, muscular body after more than 30 years associated with the ocean profession on Phu Quoc “pearl island”. Used to be a ship owner with dozens of employees, wrestled around countless storms, Ke cannot believe that one day he will change to become a driver.

 He recalled that when he was in his twenties, when he returned from military service, he himself did not have many options in Phu Quoc. At that time, the economy of the island was mainly marine, farming and live stock breeding. Men often choose a marine career because of the health requirements. Just like that, Mr. Ke's career in the sea seemed to be attached to his whole life.

 The turning point to Phu Quoc and also to Mr. Ke started nearly 10 years ago, when "pearl island" was strongly invested in infrastructure. Accordingly, some big investors started pouring money to develop tourism, resort and real estate projects worth trillions of billions here. After less than 10 years, Phu Quoc has attracted a huge capital of nearly 17 billion USD, and is the most inhabited island in Vietnam with nearly 200,000 people.

 Because of that, many people in Phu Quoc have the same opportunity to change their lives as Mr. Ke. Mr. Ke sold the ship, using that money to buy 2 plots of land. Land prices increased rapidly according to the development, he sold them to buy cars for travel service. Tourism is also a development orientation of Phu Quoc with the goal of becoming a world-class destination.

 Phu Quoc has just been approved by the National Assembly Standing Committee to become the first island city of Vietnam. The administrative unit upgrade helps Phu Quoc have more opportunities and room for further development, make full use of its potential and strengths, rise on the world tourist map.
