TOURISTS can perceive a safe and hospitable Vietnam from the moment they are welcomed on board during their flight with Vietjet Air. In addition, they will join a special journey to explore and experience the Phu Quoc United Center – a world-class ecosystem of tourism, experience, discovery, shopping, festival and arts with the highest safety standard.

Upon entry, travelers must go through airport health screening, and install IGOVN and PC-Covid mobile applications before moving directly to the resort. All tourists will stay at Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc, which has been allowed to welcome international guests in separated zones. Here, they will have time to relax and experience a 'travel bubble' journey at Phu Quoc United Center which has been customised for them: staying in 5-star hotel rooms and villas, exploring sport and entertainment activities at Vinpearl Golf, VinWonders theme park, Vinpearl Safari, Corona Casino and the sleepless city of Grand World Phu Quoc.

All tourists must have quick Covid-19 tests on the first and last day of their vacation. With negative test results, they can visit, entertain, dine and shop in designated zones at Phu Quoc United Center. Throughout the journey, travelers are always advised to monitor their own health and ensure compliance with the '5K message' (masks, disinfection, distance, no gathering, health declaration) and disease prevention measures.

To ensure the maximum peace of mind for each visitor, in addition to strictly complying with the guidelines in the implementation plan for the vaccine passport program, all units of Vinpearl continue to keep the 24/7 three-layer shield of maximum control, ensuring the strictest internal hygiene regulations compared to international standards while implementing an advanced set of safety standards.

All staff who serve tourists with vaccine passports must follow the rule of '3 on-the-spot': isolated to ensure the highest safety, having all contact schedules monitored and body temperature checked at the beginning and the end of their working day.

Considered as the opening event for the vaccine passport pilot program in Phu Quoc in particular and in Vietnam in general, this is an important start, marking an acceleration in efforts to recover the Vietnamese tourism industry as well as national economic development in the new context.

After this first group of tourists on November 20 – a Vietjet Air flight bringing more than 200 Korean tourists to experience a 5-day and 4-night vacation – Phu Quoc expects to receive 20 international flights per month in the near future. – The Vibes, November 22, 2021
