Phu Quoc Welcomes Record 60,000 Russian-CIS Tourists with Charter Flights from 14 Cities

A Winter Paradise for Russian and CIS Travelers

Phu Quoc has cemented its position as Southeast Asia’s premier winter destination for Russian and CIS tourists. The 2025-2026 winter season has brought a record-breaking influx, with approximately 60,000 visitors from Russia and CIS countries expected between October 2025 and April 2026. Charter flights operated by Anex Tour Vietnam, in partnership with Azur Air and Vietjet Air, now depart from 14 cities across Russia and the CIS, with an impressive frequency of 75-80 flights per month.

Air traffic from Russia to Phu Quoc has surged by more than 300% compared to the previous year, and the number of Russian-CIS tourists is projected to grow by an additional 30-35% year-on-year.

Why Russians Are Choosing Phu Quoc

Growing Russian-Language Infrastructure

The surge in Russian visitors has catalyzed a service ecosystem that caters specifically to Russian-speaking tourists:

Visa-Free Entry

Phu Quoc’s special 30-day visa-free policy for all nationalities — provided you fly directly to the island — removes all administrative barriers for Russian travelers planning dental treatment.
