The weather in the South is starting to get hot, which is also the time when "March is the month when the old lady goes to sea" (a folk saying of the fishing village: Going to sea in the third lunar month is the "best") and coincides with the April 30 - May 1 holiday in 2024. Along with the trend of island tourism being favored by tourists, it is predicted that the destination of Phu Quy will be "hot" again in the coming months...

Meeting during the recent Lunar New Year, Tuan Anh (living in Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City) and his close friends agreed to return to Phu Quy as soon as the weather was "calm and the sea was calm". Having experienced the island district last summer, this group of young people were very impressed with the wild, peaceful beauty and the friendliness and hospitality of the people here. Therefore, the upcoming trip made everyone even more excited and planned to explore more fully the landscape as well as enjoy many famous delicacies associated with the place name Phu Quy.

Tourists waiting for transportation to Phu Quy island district.

As for Mr. Chien (from Da Lat, Lam Dong), he had planned to organize a trip to Phu Quy for his whole family of three generations since the Covid-19 pandemic, but because he was afraid of seasickness, he could not do it yet. Recently, through media channels and social networks, the "pearl island" of Binh Thuan has become more and more attractive to tourists as the time of "March, old ladies go to sea" is approaching. Mr. Chien said that this time he is determined to arrange the time, and the most convenient is on the occasion of April 30 - May 1 this year, to take his family from the mountain town to the sea for the first time to experience the island district...

Such as Trieu Duong Bay stands out with white sand and clear blue water, Cao Cat Mountain has Linh Son Pagoda with cliffs shaped like "wind-blown rocks", Flagpole affirming the sovereignty of the Fatherland... With the attraction of the destination in the middle of the ocean, in 2023, Phu Quy tourism welcomed more than 166,500 visitors, while the previous year only reached 95,300. In February - the month of the Lunar New Year 2024, although unfavorable weather disrupted operations, passenger transport vehicles still had 162 departures and arrivals at both ends of the wharf and transported more than 31,460 passengers, of which nearly 9,300 were tourists to Phu Quy Island.

Recently, in the announcement of the train schedule on the Phan Thiet - Phu Quy route and vice versa (second replacement) from March 15 to 31, 2024, Phu Quy Port Management Board said that the number of passengers continues to increase on weekends. Therefore, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays every week, there will be 8-10 trains departing from Phan Thiet to Phu Quy and from the island district back to the mainland to meet the travel needs of both locals and tourists... It is forecasted that from April, when the sea is calm until the peak of summer 2024, tourism activities in Phu Quy island district will continue to be vibrant with an increasing number of visitors due to the attraction and "hotness" of this destination.
