More than 200 foreign tourists have arrived on Vietnam's largest Phu Quoc island, the first to visit the Southeast Asian country after nearly two years of border closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, reports AP.

The fully vaccinated travellers from South Korea will spend their holidays in hotel resorts without a mandatory 14-day quarantine. They were tested on arrival, and once the negative results are returned, they can join activities on the island including sightseeing, shopping and entertainment events that require vaccine certificates.
