Staff WriterHold onto your clubs, folks—because the Asia Golf Tourism Convention is rolling into Danang from April 2-4, 2025, ready to put Central Vietnam’s greens in the international spotlight.
This 12th edition, brought to us by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, promises to lift the region’s game by attracting passionate golfers from around the globe, giving local businesses a real boost, and setting the stage for fresh tournaments and exciting growth opportunities.
Central Vietnam has long been a golfer’s dream, and it’s no wonder when you’ve got jewels like Laguna Golf Lang Co, Montgomerie Links, and Ba Na Hills Golf Club in your back pocket—the very heart of the Vietnam Golf Coast.
With the Asia Golf Tourism Convention rolling into town, Central Vietnam is set to captivate the international stage, welcoming visitors from every corner and cementing fresh, valuable ties with global tour operators.
In turn, this surge in visibility leads to more travelling golfers, new event opportunities, and a boost to area businesses such as hotels and restaurants.
“AGTC 2025 in Danang is a game-changer for golf tourism in Central Vietnam. It provides a platform to showcase our exceptional courses, hospitality, and the cultural richness of the region,” said Le Vo Hoang Van, Club Manager at Montgomerie Links.
From an economic slant, AGTC 2025 is far more than just a blip on the calendar—it’s set to solidify Danang as the top spot for golf tourism.
Envision an influx of international visitors, tee times booked to capacity, and a hefty boost in business for local hotels, eateries, and the entire tourism industry.
And with local authorities and tourism boards fully backing the convention, it’s clear that Danang’s star is only going to shine brighter on the global stage.
Montgomerie Links is pulling out all the stops to impress AGTC attendees, offering familiarization trips for international tour operators and media.
The club aims to highlight not only its pristine course conditions but also its unmatched hospitality—so that every visitor leaves with a story to tell. To sweeten the pot, Montgomerie Links is also fine-tuning its digital marketing efforts and introducing exclusive Stay & Play packages.
At Ba Na Hills Golf Club—a cornerstone of the Vietnam Golf Coast and two-time IAGTO Golf Course of the Year (2020 & 2024)—the buzz is undeniable.
The club plans to use its enduring relationship with IAGTO to enhance connections with major tour operators and seize the chance to host site inspections.
“AGTC provides an extraordinary platform to showcase the diversity and world-class quality of golf in Central Vietnam,” said Simon Mees, General Manager of Ba Na Hills Golf Club.
“With our mountainous setting, exceptional design, and commitment to bringing international tournaments to the region, Ba Na Hills Golf Club is excited to contribute to Danang’s rising status on the global golf stage.”
Meanwhile, Laguna Golf Lang Co is setting up for a breakout moment at AGTC, looking to attract visitors from Australia, New Zealand, and far-flung corners of the globe.
This April, the club will unveil an online booking platform for direct tee time reservations and stay-and-play packages, along with a dedicated B2B portal to streamline partnerships.
“Our participation at AGTC 2025 reflects our commitment to making Laguna Golf Lang Co a leading global golf destination,” said Stephen Banks, Director of Golf at Laguna Lang Co.
“With the launch of our online booking platform and the introduction of exclusive long-stay packages, we are elevating the experience for international golfers.”
Central Vietnam’s charm is already well-known, but the upcoming Asia Golf Tourism Convention is set to crank up the volume on that buzz, thrusting the region even further into the global golf spotlight.
By drawing worldwide attention to Danang, expanding international partnerships, and inspiring new tournaments, AGTC 2025 isn’t just a convention—it’s the next big move in a golf revolution that’s teeing up a bright and booming future for this corner of Vietnam.
