Phu Quoc island has named in the list of  Best Winter Trips 2014 voted by National Geographic.

Phu Quoc Island ranks the third after Paris (France) and Whitefish, Montana (USA).  

According to National Geographic, what’s bringing international travelers and, so far, restrained development to Phu Quoc today are its warm, turquoise waters; secluded, deep sand beaches; and lush, mountainous interior (protected as a national park). Phu Quoc once housed the so-called “coconut tree prison” (now a museum), where revolutionary prisoners of war were held through 1973.

 

The list also named 12 other destinations, including Baikal Lake (Russia), Santa Margherita Ligure (Italy), Nosare beach (Costa Rica), Yellowstone national park (US), Masquerade Games, Pernik (Bulgaria), Gold coast (Australia), Caucasus mountains (Georgia), winter festival in Miami (US), Mallorca, (Spain), Muscat Salalah (Oman), Sauti za Busara music festival (Tanzania) and Quebec (Canada).
