Forbes Vietnam once said that no country had grown golf quicker than Vietnam. Much of the rise in the Vietnamese golf industry may be attributed to the development of high-quality golf goods that emphasize terrain and easy access.
Golf Tourism is understood as a type of sports tourism that combines golf activities with exploration, sightseeing, and relaxation at the destination.
This demonstrates that golf tourism in Vietnam is rapidly growing as an industry with a huge potential for growth. Although golf tourism is still in its early phases, it is rapidly establishing itself. The year 2023 is expected to see a boom in golf events in Vietnam, as well as golf tourism promotion activities in the post-Covid 19 period. Not to add that the average international golfer visiting Vietnam would spend from 2,500 - 3,000 USD.
Golf tours are considered to be an effective strategy for increasing tourist income due to the fact that they target a high-paying consumer segment. Golfers frequently have substantial incomes and frequent trips to golf venues. These tourists must not only play golf but also enjoy high-end amenities at resorts, hotels, and restaurants. As can be seen, growing golf tourism is a good step toward modernization. Increase service quality, product diversification, competitiveness, and attract tourist with high paying abilities and long-term stays.
