The event not only brought prestige to Vinpearl as a brand, but also attracted attention for the premier quality of the destinations themselves and Vietnam.

Leadership representatives in Phu Quoc were effusive in evaluating the impact on local tourism of the 8Wonder Winter Festival. This unprecedented international event reached new heights with the participation of perennial chart-toppers, Maroon 5, impacting positively not only on the Pearl Island but also on Vietnamese tourism as a whole.
