Golf tourism is viewed as highly potential in Vietnam. |
Vietnam was recognized as the World’s Best Gold Destination in 2019 and Asia’s Best Golf Destination for four straight years, from 2017 to 2020.
Tourism experts said golf tourism is highly potential in Vietnam, and that unlike ordinary visitors, golf travelers will return to previous destinations for many times and they are capable of spending much on high-end hotel and restaurant services.
Together with the development of tourism infrastructure, the golf course system in Vietnam has received big investment in recent years with high quality and beautiful landscape.
The Asia’s Best Golf Destination award is part of the World Golf Awards, held annually since 2014 and viewed as the most prestigious awards in the golf tourism industry.
