According to the VNAT, the tourism sector needs to devise a long-term strategic development plan and popularise golf tourism, which in turn will bolster tourism growth and investment in Vietnam.

As the country boasts a number of challenging golf courses with spectacular scenery, golf tourism holds huge potential in Vietnam’s tourism development.

World Golf Awards serves to celebrate and reward excellence in golf tourism, world-class courses, and outstanding golf destinations.

The global voting process lasted seven months this year. Votes are made by professionals working within the golf travel and tourism industry, including senior executives, tour operators, agents, media professionals, and golf tourism consumers.
