Dusit International group chief executive,
Suphajee Suthumoun told the media “Phu
Quoc will become a major tourist attraction
over the next ten years as there are many
mega-project developments being proposed
by the Vietnamese government. Phu Quoc
will be outlined as a special economic zone
in the coming years, and Dusit saw an
influx of high-end foreign travellers to the
island, indicating very high potential,”
Reports indicated that in 2015 Phu Quoc
welcomed over 1.5 million tourists. The
main bulk of these tourists were from
Europe and the United States. Plans are in
place to grow this figure to 3 million by
2020.
Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort at
Phu Quoc is scheduled to open by the third
quarter of this year. Dusit International
manages 29 hotels in 17 countries
including Thailand under four brands: Dusit
Thani, dusitD2, Dusit Princess and Dusit
Devarana. Dusit International is part of
Dusit Thani Group, which specialises in
hotel development and management. The
group has 46 new hotels in 21 countries in
the pipeline in the Middle East, Europe,
Africa and Asia, especially China.
This is a fantastic move by Dusit Thanai, a
move that strengthens links between
Thailand and Vietnam.
