This strategic move aims to cater to the growing demand from Indian tourists, particularly affluent families seeking to host lavish wedding celebrations on the idyllic island.

"Phu Quoc has witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity among Indian travelers, with several opulent weddings recently organized on our pristine shores," stated Hung. "While a direct service between Phu Quoc and New Delhi was briefly operational in 2022, it was unfortunately suspended due to low demand. However, given the escalating interest from the Indian market, we are confident that resuming direct flights will unlock significant tourism potential."
