Go back
Phu Quoc emerges as a premier MICE destination, offering visa-free entry, luxury resorts, and world-class facilities. Ideal for business and leisure events. 
Phu Quoc Island is rapidly establishing itself as a leading global destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism, thanks to its favorable visa-free policy, luxury resorts, and world-class infrastructure. In Vietnam, MICE tourism contributes 15-20% of total visitors, with some agencies reporting as much as 60% during peak seasons.
Visa-Free Policy Enhances Accessibility
Phu Quoc is the only location in Vietnam offering visa exemptions for international travelers, allowing foreign visitors and Vietnamese citizens with foreign passports to stay visa-free for up to 30 days. Additionally, citizens of 13 countries, including Germany, France, the U.K., and Japan, enjoy unilateral visa exemptions of up to 45 days, regardless of their travel purpose.
This streamlined entry process is particularly advantageous for MICE groups, simplifying travel logistics for large delegations. The visa policy has spurred international connectivity, with direct flights now available from key markets such as South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia. More countries are considering launching direct routes to Phu Quoc, further bolstering its status as a convenient and accessible MICE destination.
Luxury Resorts and Breathtaking Beaches
Phu Quoc's pristine beaches, such as Kem Beach and Sao Beach, provide the perfect backdrop for MICE events, thanks to their fine white sand and crystal-clear waters. The island’s luxury resorts, including JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, New World Phu Quoc, and Premier Village Phu Quoc, offer top-tier services tailored to MICE groups. These resorts not only offer modern conference facilities but also serve as ideal venues for team-building activities and outdoor events.
State-of-the-Art Conference Facilities
Phu Quoc’s high-end resorts feature modern conference halls and meeting spaces designed to accommodate a variety of events. A standout venue is the Sun Signature Gallery in Sunset Town, created by renowned architect Bill Bensley. The gallery, which doubles as a museum showcasing Bensley's artistic work, boasts a grand ballroom that can host up to 1,000 guests, making it ideal for large-scale conferences and artistic performances.
In October, the Sun Paradise Land complex will debut the Sun Convention Center in Kem Beach, another state-of-the-art venue capable of hosting up to 1,000 guests. This addition will further strengthen Phu Quoc’s position as a premier destination for MICE events.
Diverse Entertainment and Recreation Options
Phu Quoc offers a wealth of recreational activities, making it an attractive destination for MICE travelers. From beachside team-building events to world-class golf courses, the island caters to a variety of interests. The Eschuri Vung Bau golf course, set against stunning coastal scenery, is a must-visit for golf enthusiasts.
The Sun Paradise Land complex offers unique entertainment, such as the iconic Kiss Bridge and the vibrant VUI-Fest night market. The complex will soon unveil "Symphony of the Sea," a multimedia show featuring jetski stunts, flyboarding, and fireworks displays, incorporating elements of Vietnamese culture.
A visit to Phu Quoc wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the world’s longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island, which offers panoramic views of the island’s breathtaking seascape—a highlight recommended by Lonely Planet.
Conclusion
With its visa-free policy, luxury accommodations, cutting-edge conference facilities, and wide range of entertainment options, Phu Quoc is on the fast track to becoming a top-tier destination for both regional and global MICE events. Recognized as the world’s second-best island by Travel + Leisure, Phu Quoc is positioned to thrive as a premier hub for business and leisure tourism alike.
