The awards classify islands into regional categories, including Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and North America, without assigning any specific rankings. Phu Quoc triumphantly secured the eighth rank in the very competitive Asian island category, overcoming well-known locations such as the Okinawa and Ryuku islands in Japan and Siargao in the Philippines. These rankings represent the opinions of readers from throughout the world as well as specialists in travel.
