This season, many tourists flock to Phu Quoc because of the blue sea and more beautiful scenery.
In recent days, Phu Quoc's Facebook forums have continuously posted information that for only 200,000-700,000 VND/person, tourists can stay at a Mediterranean hotel in Phu Quoc; check-in at a water park and ride a cable car.
This information immediately attracted hundreds of comments and registrations from readers.
Phu Quoc "huge" price reduction?
Specifically, FB LNHV posted: "Mediterranean Phu Quoc hotel from only 700k/night/2 guests - 2 round-trip cable car tickets included. Inbox me to choose a hotel with a great view".
Another FB posted: "Cable car ticket is 650,000 VND. Give me 499,000 VND/person, I will give you cable car ticket, 1 night stay at luxury hotel + delicious breakfast + 200,000 VND proposal ticket"...
Information like this is flooding the Phu Quoc online community, so many tourists have booked rooms. However, when contacted, the owners of these pages said they were full and directed to another service - Photo: BUU DAU screenshot
More daringly, NBM posted a hot status: "Hot period, many attractive offers are being launched for beloved customers. Only 400,000 VND/guest (room for 2 guests).
Guests will receive a free 1-night stay and breakfast. The room is super beautiful, so you can check in at sunset; Dear guests will receive a free 2-way cable car ticket. Dear guests will receive a free ticket to watch the proposal. The program has not ended yet, so hurry up, guests...".
Tuoi Tre Online contacted FB with the nick CT, according to the status line that only 200,000 VND can sleep in a luxury hotel and take the cable car, this person said:
"This program is a discount for the company, so they give tickets to the company, but the 200,000 VND/room room is sold out, and there are only 380,000 VND/room rooms with breakfast included. You have to stay overnight and then take the cable car the next day."
"This program does not apply on April 30 and May 1. If you order, you must do it early," T. urged.
The company said there was no discount.
After we paid an advance payment of 1 million VND, T. sent a room check-in paper from a hotel in the Mediterranean area, Phu Quoc.
Following the hotline number on the check-in form, the receptionist said:
"The normal room rate here is 800,000 VND/night/room. I don't know which company you booked through. We can calculate the price when we get here and show you the documents."
A media representative of a business said: "Basically, Phu Quoc cable car is currently 650,000 VND/ticket, there is no discount program.
Because we have stimulated demand in many other programs. The people who posted that information are shophouse owners.
Maybe they bought a lot of discounted cable car tickets so they posted it like that to stimulate tourism.
Therefore, this program is not organized by our company as they posted, but by mini hotels in the Mediterranean area (Phu Quoc).
Stimulating demand is not by reducing prices, but by launching many new products, services and experiences for tourists," said a business representative.
When asked about the widespread discount information on the internet in Phu Quoc, a leader of the Kien Giang Province Department of Tourism said: "Nonsense is always present on social networking sites, even though the Department's inspectors and the provincial police's professional departments constantly inspect and check."
