The flights, operating on the Bucharest–Phu Quoc and Chisinau–Phu Quoc routes from Romania and Moldova, are expected to run until mid-March 2026, potentially bringing a steady flow of Eastern European visitors to the Phu Quoc special zone in An Giang province.

Previously, digital travel platform Agoda recorded a sharp increase in searches for accommodation in Vietnam from Eastern European markets, and Phu Quoc took the lead with an impressive year-on-year growth of 113%. Agoda data shows that searches for Vietnam from Slovenia rose by 77%, Poland by 74%, Bulgaria by 72%, Romania by 69%, and Slovakia by 61%.

Join UP!’s Vietnam Destination Director Gamzat Aliev told VOV reporter that the company is committed to building even stronger flight programnes to position Phu Quoc as one of the leading Asian destinations.

“With the right support and stable development on the island, we can create year-round demand and long-term success for Vietnam in the Eastern European market. If Phu Quoc continues to sustain competitive costs and invests in infrastructure over the next few years, the island will attract an even stronger and more consistent tourist flow from Eastern Europe”, said Gamzat Aliev.

“Stability in pricing and development is the key to sustainable growth”, he stressed.

In Phu Quoc, package tours for Eastern European travelers typically span 10 nights, blending luxury stays at high-end hotels and resorts with visits to iconic attractions. Guest itineraries often include highlights such as VinWonders theme park, the Hon Thom cable car, the “Kiss of the Sea” show, and cultural experiences at the local night market.
