Phu Quoc makes up the largest island in Vietnam and is considered to be a hidden gem for both nature enthusiasts and luxury travelers.

Visitors from the United States to Phu Quoc can skip the otherwise-required Vietnam visa thanks to the launch of a special Government programme aimed at boosting tourism, it added. 

Travel Lemming also suggested things to do in the island city, including riding the Hon Thom Cable car, hiking to waterfalls, snorkeling and diving, and watching the sunset from Long Beach.

Furthermore, the travel guide recommended that the best time to visit is between September and December, or alternatively between March and April.

Yucatán of Mexico is the No.1 destination to visit in 2024, according to Travel Lemming.
