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
Extended Stays
Unlike typical beach holidays, Russian visitors to Phu Quoc average more than 10 nights per stay. This extended duration makes the island uniquely suited for dental tourism — there is ample time for multi-stage procedures like implants while enjoying a tropical holiday.
Growing Russian-Language Infrastructure
The surge in Russian visitors has catalyzed a service ecosystem that caters specifically to Russian-speaking tourists:
| Service | Russian-Language Availability |
|---|---|
| Hotels | Major resorts offer Russian-speaking staff |
| Restaurants | Russian menus at popular dining spots |
| Tour operators | Dedicated Russian-language excursions |
| Medical services | Growing number of Russian-speaking healthcare providers |
| Dental clinics | Clinics adding Russian-speaking assistants |
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.
