Phu Quoc Vacations, Phu Quoc Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Phú Quốc is the largest island of Vietnam. The district of Phú Quốc includes the island proper and 21 smaller isles. The district seat, Dương Đông, which is located on the west coast, is also the largest town on this island, whose total area is 574 km².

Phu Quoc is famous for its two traditional products: fish sauce and black pepper. The rich fishing grounds offshore provides the anchovy catch from which the prized sauce is made. Pepper cultivation is located inland in the center of the island. More recently a pearl farm was established.

Tourism plays an important part of the economy with the beaches being the main draw. Phu Quoc is served by Duong Dong Airport which air links to Saigon's Tan Son Nhat Airport and Rach Gia's Rach Gia Airport. A new international airport is going to be built here. Phu Quoc is also linked with Rach Gia and Hà Tiên by fast ferry hydrofoils.
