He said this marks the second time Da Nang has partnered with the IAGTO to host this prestigious golf tourism event. The AGTC 2025 presents a prime opportunity to promote the city as a dynamic and modern coastal destination with exceptional tourism potential. The event will also highlight its world-class golf courses, five-star hotels and resorts, breathtaking natural landscapes, and premium tourism services.
Furthermore, the convention is expected to strengthen Da Nang’s position on the regional and international golf tourism map while opening new avenues for cooperation and investment in both golf tourism and the luxury travel sector.
IAGTO President Peter Walton underscored the significant value the AGTC 2025 will bring to Da Nang. During the event, 168 golf tour operators will explore local golf resorts and courses. Additionally, more than 4,500 scheduled meetings between international golf tour operators and golf tourism service providers will take place, generating increased revenue for golf destinations across Asia, including Vietnam and its Da Nang.

By attracting top golf tour operators from 33 countries and territories, the AGTC 2025 is also hoped to diversify Da Nang’s golf tourism markets, reducing the city's dependence on just one or two key sources of travelers.
As part of the convention, the IAGTO will announce the World Golf Tourism Awards, honoring outstanding golf courses and destinations as voted by international golf tour operators. Notably, Da Nang will be recognized with the "Outstanding Contribution to Golf Tourism" award for its remarkable efforts in advancing golf tourism.
