PHU QUOC, VIETNAM – Phu Quoc is rapidly advancing the development of several major infrastructure projects as the island city gears up to host events for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in 2027. The push aims to ensure the city's readiness to welcome international leaders, delegates, and media for the high-profile gathering.
Significant investment is being channeled into upgrading and expanding transportation networks, accommodation, and conference facilities across the popular tourist island. Key projects currently being fast-tracked include the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, the construction of new arterial roads to improve connectivity, and the development of state-of-the-art convention centers and luxury hotel complexes.
Local authorities are working closely with investors and contractors to ensure that these critical developments are completed on schedule. The preparations are seen not only as essential for the success of the APEC meetings but also as a long-term investment to bolster Phu Quoc's position as a leading international tourism and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination in Southeast Asia.
The selection of Phu Quoc as a venue for APEC 2027 reflects its growing economic significance and its potential to showcase Vietnam's dynamic development to the world. The accelerated infrastructure push is expected to transform the island's landscape, providing a significant economic boost and leaving a lasting legacy long after the summit concludes.
