Administration
Phú Quý island has three communes: * Ngũ Phụng: Phú An (1), Thương Châu (2), Quý Thạnh (3) * Tam Thanh: Mỹ Khê (4), Hội An (5), Triều Dương (6) * Long Hải: Phú Long (7), Đông Hải (8), Quý Hải (9), Tân Hải (10). Note: The numbers in parentheses () is the former village name.Tourism
Phú Quý calls for domestic and foreign investors to invest in the island to develop infrastructure, especially airports, and hotels to serve tourists. Phu Quy's Tourism Potential is cultural heritage, scenic spots, and rare seafood. However, in the long run, Phu Quy tourism must take its strengths from fishing villages, fisheries and beaches, islands, and mountains that are still pristine, without excessive human impact, along with the local lifestyle. For the people on the island, the rustic, honest, and pristine are the strengths, creating the style of Phu Quy tourism as a basis for sustainable development.Transportation
Transport routes connecting the mainland and Phú Quý island are limited. During calm seas, the journey by ferry can take up to six hours, limiting tourism. However, in mid-2010, the cooperative shipping company Fortune operated a mid-speed ferry, shortening travel time to Phú Quý island to approximately 2.5-3 hours. The mid-speed ferry was stopped in 2015 and after a year was replaced with a ferry that takes 4 hours running alongside the 6-hour ferry. In 2018 the mid-speed ferry was reinstated and now travel to the island takes 2.5 hours in favourable conditions.See also
