With his top solo ability and unique musical style, BI also excites the K-Pop fan community with his captivating performances. BI's "landing" promises to "burn up" the Vinhomes Royal Island stage.

In particular, the stage of Road to 8Wonder - The Next Icon is designed according to international music festival standards with a "huge" LED screen, a modern sound system and unique laser effects. Thanks to that, each performance is a "1-0-2" eye-catching and ear-pleasing experience for tens of thousands of audiences.

Not only extending the vibrant days of the Royal Island City, Road to 8Wonder also opens up quality living experiences exclusively for residents, thereby elevating the upper-class lifestyle of Hai Phong people.

“International events like Road to 8Wonder not only meet the growing demand for entertainment activities of Hai Phong residents but also create a boost for the city's tourism and entertainment industries,” an expert commented.

Pioneering destination for international standard living and entertainment experiences

According to Future Market Insights, the global music tourism market is currently worth $6.4 billion and is expected to reach $15.5 billion in the next 10 years. In Vietnam, music tourism is also a “gold mine” waiting to be exploited.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Bui Hoai Son - Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Society, the grand concerts are a testament to the great potential of the Vietnamese performing arts industry. However, to be sustainable, a comprehensive support ecosystem is needed, especially the cooperation of management levels and the community.

This also shows Vinhomes' strategic vision and proactive approach in orienting the development of its urban areas, including Vinhomes Royal Island, to become a leading tourism and festival center. At Royal Island City, audiences can not only freely "follow their idols" at international-scale concerts but also have the opportunity to enjoy a series of unique resort - entertainment - discovery activities.

That is the "million dollar" horse riding experience at Vinpearl Horse Academy, swinging a club at Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong, a yacht party at Royal Marina, having fun and exploring with the "entertainment universe" VinWonder & Safari, Go Kart racing... Along with that, thousands of "flawless" check-in corners with majestic and magnificent architectural works, converging the quintessence of culture and architecture of 5 continents. Thanks to that, the tourist's journey will last longer with more unique experiences. This is the driving force for the development of the tourist center of Vinhomes Royal Island in particular and Hai Phong in general.

According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Hoan - Head of Communications Department - Vietnam Tourism Association, this is also an effective way to promote destinations when keeping up with the development trend of modern tourism.

“As festivals expand in scale, space, and duration, they will resonate with the spreading power of cyberspace, contributing to increased interaction, creating better communication effects, and attracting more participants,” the expert analyzed.

According to experts, the appearance of Vinhomes Royal Island and blockbuster events such as Road to 8Wonder have opened a new page with new and attractive products for Hai Phong tourism.

“These activities will help elevate the status of destinations and Vietnamese people as well as bring Vietnam's event organization capacity to new heights,” said Mr. Nguyen Cong Hoan.

In 2025, Hai Phong tourism industry aims to welcome about 10 million visitors, including 1.5 million international visitors, with total tourism revenue reaching 12,400 billion VND, contributing about 2.8% of GRDP. According to experts, events like Road to 8Wonder and the attractiveness of the Royal Island City will help Hai Phong soon achieve the above goal.
