Local Information

Up until the 1750s, the island was relatively undisturbed with a small population of local people who made their living mostly from the sea. During this time the island was known for its harvest of sea cucumbers.

Attention was brought to the island in the 1760s through to the 1780s when French missionary Pierre Pigneau de Behaine harboured Prince Nguyen Anh who was fleeing the Tay Son.

Phu Quoc is famous for its production of Nuoc Mam, fish sauce, which is made from a special type of anchovy found in the nearby waters. In the town of Duong Dong, there are a number of factories which welcome visitors to come and discover the process of making the staple Vietnamese sauce. Another of the island's main exports is pepper which is grown on the pepper plantations.

Phu Quoc has an interesting range of temples where visitors can discover more about the local culture. One of the most famous temples is Dinh Cau Temple which sits on a rocky outcropping attached to Dinh Cau Beach, at the mouth of the Duong Dong River. The temple appears to be tangled in the rocks and trees growing around it and looks particularly beautiful at sunset. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea, Thien Hau who, along with the lighthouse that also perches on the rocks, provides protection to those at sea.

Phu Quoc also played a crucial role in the Cao Dai religion which is believed to have originated there. The main premise of Caodaism is that all religions are united in worshipping the same God. The temple is unique in its decoration with colourful religious paraphernalia filling the rooms. Another attraction of this temple is the stunning views from the top of the tower.

Bai Truong or Long Beach: one of the biggest and most popular beaches in Phu Quoc, aptly named as the beach stretches 20km along the coastline. Located on the west coast of the island, this area is the main hub of tourism with the beach backing onto a ion of resorts, restaurants, and cafes.

Ong Lang Beach and Vai Bung Beach: just a short journey northwards from Long Beach. They both offer the same calm blue water and sandy beaches but with less of a crowd. Each has a handful of resorts and food shacks dotted along the edge their beaches.

Phu Quoc National Park: explore the jungle of the national park which covers much of the island. The park's varied ecosystems, including mangrove forests, palm bushlands and forests. Hidden within this green and luscious environment are communities of interesting animals and insects with a total of 208 species within the national park. Some of these species are rare, such as the long-tailed macaque, silver langurs and lorises which can all be found in Phu Quoc National Park.

Tranh Waterfall: just 10 minutes from Duong Dong offer a great place to cool off from the heat. he surrounding forest shelters the waterfall, framing it with lush greenery. The water cascades over the rocks and into the pool below which is home to small freshwater shrimps and fish. As well as taking in the beautiful waterfalls, visitors can discover the fauna and flora of surrounding forest.

Scuba diving is another of Phu Quoc's biggest draws. The main areas to North and South of the Island offer divers the chance to see the many incredible species living in the coral reef. The top spot for scuba diving is in the An Thoi Archipelago off the south coast of the island. Here the amazing coral reef stretches up to 25 meters below the surface and is home to stingrays, manta rays, bamboo sharks and the occasional turtle as well as a host other creatures. To the north of Phu Quoc are Turtle Island and Fingertip Island both of which are surrounded by coral of up to 10 meters in depth.

Snorkelling can also be a great way of getting a peek at the coral and some of its inhabitants. Some resort are now offering jet skis, kayaks and windsails which can be hired and used to explore the stunning coastline, taking in the beauty of the island from the sea.

The session zoom coordinator will communicate with all authors before their session begins. Please be ready to share your screen with the presentation in the full window.

Consequently we ask all oral speakers to prepare a 10-12 minute presentation and to present in real-time, whether it is in person or via zoom. Our conference schedule runs from noon (Vietnam time) to six pm, so it will facilitate both European and Asian attendance and live participation.

Questions will be facilitated from in-person attendees or online attendees via the zoom platform. The session chair will relay online questions to the speakers.

Full links to the conference sessions and the Q&A platform will be added to the conference schedule shortly.

Instructions for Special Session Presenters

The presentation mode for special sessions will be the same as for oral presentations. For some special sessions (e.g. MDRE, MAPTA, MACHU) the duration of talks will be 5 minutes each, with each presenter being asked to join an online panel for discussion once all talks have ended. For such sessions, the session organisers will send details to presenters separately.

Instructions for Poster / Demo Presenters

The poster and demo session will be held on the online platform. We request that each author of a poster or demo paper prepare an A1 portrait poster and submit it to the online platform by the 5th June. All posters will be imported into the online platform on the 6th June so we ask you to please meet the deadline of 5th June. For demo presenters, you will also be asked to upload a video of your demo for inclusion on the online platform. During the poster / demo session, we ask that all authors join the zoom session associated with their poster / demo and be online to answer questions from online participants.
