According to the VNAT, the tourism sector needs to devise a
long-term strategic development plan and popularise golf tourism, which in
turn will bolster tourism growth and investment in Vietnam.
As the country boasts a number of challenging golf courses with
spectacular scenery, golf tourism holds huge potential in Vietnam’s tourism
development.
The World Golf Awards serves to celebrate and reward excellence
in golf tourism, world-class courses, and outstanding golf destinations.
The global voting process lasted seven months this year. Votes
are made by professionals working within the golf travel and tourism
industry, including senior executives, tour operators, agents, media
professionals, and golf tourism consumers.
Earlier, the ministry selected Australian professional golfer

presented the appointment decision to Norman at a ceremony held in Hanoi on
