According to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism’s Information Center, Vietnam surpasses other strong contenders such as Japan, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand to claim the title. Additionally, at the awards ceremony, Hanoi was honored as the World’s Best Golf City Destination 2024.
The awards are the result of a year-long search for the world’s most popular golf tourism brands. The voting process involves golf industry experts, media professionals, and the public, with winners determined by receiving the highest number of votes in each category.
Vietnam is considered as an ideal golf destination in Asia, thanks to its stunning natural landscapes and tropical climate, which provides favorable conditions for developing golf courses and promoting golf tourism.
According to preliminary statistics, Vietnam boasts around 100 operational 18-hole golf courses and practice facilities, with 32 of them meeting 5-star international standards, often integrated with luxury resorts. The development of golf tourism infrastructure and products is a key focus within Vietnam’s Tourism Development Strategy through 2030, approved by the Prime Minister.
To date, Vietnam has been recognized eight times as Asia’s Best Golf Destination and twice as the World’s Best Golf Destination. These awards affirm Vietnam’s reputation and appeal on the global golf tourism map.
