Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa (EMEAA) region. Located on Vietnam’s
Phu Quoc island, the InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort features
more than 400 rooms, suites, and villas.
Aside from an exclusive beachfront, the hotel also has six bars and
restaurants. Aiming to satisfy the needs of business executives, it also
offers meeting venues with state of the art facilities.
The construction of the hotel marks a significant achievement for the
company as it continues to collaborate with hundreds of hotel owners.
IHG’s EMEAA region encompasses 71 countries situated across 26 different
time zones. Voco, the company’s new upscale brand, is set to debut in
EMEAA, with a first hotel slated for Australia.
