The honour was announced by the World Golf Awards during its 11th annual event recently held in Madeira, Portugal.
At the same awards ceremony, Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, was named the World’s Best Golf City Destination 2024.
Voting was conducted by golf industry professionals, the media, and the public. Winners were determined based on the highest number of votes received in each category.
Vietnam is regarded as an ideal golf destination in Asia due to its stunning natural landscapes, tropical climate favourable for golf course development, and golf tourism. Currently, the country boasts around 100 operational 18-hole golf courses, including 32 that meet international 5-star standards and are integrated with luxurious resorts.
One of the key focuses of Vietnam’s Tourism Development Strategy through 2030, approved by the Prime Minister, is the development of infrastructure and the creation of golf tourism products.
Vietnam has won eight Asia’s Best Golf Destination awards and two World’s Best Golf Destination awards. It has been named as Asia’s Leading Golf Destination by the World Travel Awards (WTA) for six consecutive years (2017–2022) and the World’s Leading Golf Destination in 2019 and 2021.
