Phu Quoc Island in southern Kien Giang Province will be developed into an eco-tourism centre, according to the provincial sea economic development programme for the 2011-15 period recently approved by the provincial People's Committee.
Van Ha Phong, chairman of the Phu Quoc District People's Committee said about 150 tourism projects were being implemented on the island.
Phu Quoc needed 5,000 hectares of land to develop tourism projects, and so far 400ha of land had been allocated for the purpose, said Phong.
"The Phu Quoc International Airport will be commissioned by late 2012," said Phong, adding that construction of the airport runway had been completed.
