What is golf tourism?
Definition
Golf tourism is a type of sports travel involving organized tours that revolve around playing golf as a primary activity during the trip. Participating in golf tourism gives travelers the chance to challenge and improve their golf skills in a new environment, explore famous golf courses, and enjoy the surrounding verdant natural spaces.
This form of tourism is quite common abroad but relatively new in Vietnam. However, it has been gaining popularity and development rapidly in recent years. Golf tourists are typically successful individuals willing to spend at high levels.
A golf trip usually lasts several days, or even weeks. Engaging in this type of tourism not only helps you maintain fitness and reduce stress and fatigue but also broadens your horizons and allows you to enjoy many interesting activities.
Characteristics
In golf tourism, the focus is on playing golf on uniquely designed courses with breathtaking landscapes. These are usually located in famous tourist areas. Travelers have the opportunity to experience high-quality golf courses and face challenges from various types of holes and different landscapes.
Additionally, visitors get to experience, discover, and enjoy the culture, history, and cuisine of the destination. This combination of golf and travel adds diversity and richness to this type of tourism.
Golf tours are often accompanied by professionals and customer service staff who assist travelers in booking golf courses, arranging schedules, providing information on extracurricular activities, and supporting throughout the trip. This enables travelers to fully enjoy the golf tourism experience without worrying about organizational details.
Golf tours offer not just a golfing experience but also the opportunity to enjoy the greenery of the golf courses and surrounding nature. Remarkably, travelers also have the chance to socialize and meet other golfers through extracurricular activities organized by the group.
Current state of golf tourism in Vietnam
After several years since its introduction, golf tourism has developed rapidly. As a premium type of tourism, it has the potential to attract affluent customers. Therefore, alongside constructing luxury resorts, investors continuously focus on developing a system of golf courses.
According to the Institute for Tourism Development Research and the General Department of Tourism, the year 2019 will be an important year for golf tourism in Vietnam. Our country has organized the “World Golf Awards” for the third consecutive year, an award that honors the world’s top quality and class golf courses. It is even more honorable to be nicknamed “Asia’s Best Golf Destination”.
Golfers can participate in golf tours in the North, Central, or South regions depending on their preferences. Additionally, there are combined golf trips to various places, offering tourists unique experiences.
By now, tourists must have somewhat understood what golf tourism is. However, to make your trip more complete, please follow the subsequent content to better understand this type of tourism.
Criteria for Choosing a Golf Course for Golfers

| Factors | Characteristic |
| Golf course location | Choosing a golf course with a central location and convenient transportation helps golfers save a lot of time. |
| Quality of the field | This is a factor that greatly affects the quality of the trip. Besides, the yard surface needs to have a drainage system. |
