Phu Quoc Island ‘smart district’ development requires careful planningThe Phu Quoc Island ‘smart district’ development requires careful planning to maintain a critically important balance between conventional and modern technology, says the Vietnam Post & Telecommunications Group. Speaking at a recent conference with officials regarding progress on implementing smart development of the Phu Quoc Island district, VNPT representatives elaborated on the concept of what it means. There is no universally accepted definition of either smart district, or relatedly, smart city development. It is possible that smart city technology may help create and sustain smart tourism in the future, but, there has been no empirical evidence collected anywhere around the globe that show smart city or districts have benefited tourism by any quantifiable measure. Phu Quoc is the largest island of Vietnam and a district of the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang.
