This is the first time Vietnam has had an outdoor theater achieve a Guinness World Record and the second record for Phu Quoc, after the previous World's Longest 3-Whead Cable Car for Hon Thom Cable Car.
The Guinness World Record is based on two outstanding criteria.
First, the theater's capacity is up to 5,108 seats - a number far exceeding outdoor stages in the world, in the same stage category with water screenings. This stage is two to three times larger than other outdoor media performances such as Wings of Time (Sentosa, Singapore, 2,500 seats) or Legend of Pangu (Lan Chau, China, 1,500 seats).
Second, the never-ending show on stage is confirmed to be a large-scale, fixed water show and regularly served for a single show. Specifically, the Sea kiss stage has a curtain 23m high, 44m wide, creating a screening area of up to 920m2.
This Guinness Record marks an important milestone following the success of the first multimedia show in Phu Quoc.
Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, Director of Sun World Hon Thom, the show operator, said: Being recognized by Guinness World Records is an important milestone not only for Sun Group but also the pride of Phu Quoc and Vietnam tourism. We believe that the award will continue to make the Sea kiss an entertainment symbol and an international event venue, contributing to making Phu Quoc a leading entertainment - art center in the region.
Kiss of the Sea is a product of Sun Group in collaboration with ECA2 - the world's leading creative company from France, the unit behind legendary events such as the 1998 World Cup opening ceremony in Paris, the 2000 Eiffel Tower celebration, and more than 60 multimedia shows in 17 countries.
With a total investment of 1,600 billion VND, Nu Cuoc Thuong Bien Hoa is not only impressive in terms of stage size, but also created to achieve records. On the occasion of the show's launch in Phu Quoc, Mr. Jean-Christophe Canizares, General Director of ECA2, shared: "This is a sea show with the largest scale in Asia or even in the world organized by ECA2. The huge scale of the project is reflected in a series of work items from architecture, technical design, creative design, to all production processes....
Ms. Emmanuelle Charotte, Deputy Director of Business Development of ECA2, shared that the show in Phu Quoc applied many special and pioneering technologies. Notably, it is the first stage in the world to own three consecutive cinema arches, creating an impressive image depth and an unprecedented immersive feeling for viewers.
With the talented hands of ECA2, the kiss of the sea brings the journey of art, where stories of love, the sea and people are told in the language of light, water, fire, fireworks, music, performances of artists, blending with top -notch show technology. Especially with the art fireworks every night in the show, enrolled for Phu Quoc to become "365 days of fireworks".
Once again, with the new record awarded, Phu Quoc affirms its position as a leading attractive destination in the region and the world. And this is also a testament to the stature and correct orientation of Sun Group, when accompanying the locality, contributing to bringing the Phu Quoc tourism brand to the regional and world level with iconic works.
