Asia’s leading golf tour company, Golfasian, has joined the push to promote Central Vietnam as one of the region’s best places to play golf.
The Thailand and Vietnam-based operator signed a strategic partnership with Vietnam Golf Coast - a destination marketing organisation that links six of the area’s best signature golf courses, including Laguna Golf Lang Co.
Inaugurated in early 2019, the DMO – which also numbers Ba Na Hills Golf Club, BRG Da Nang Golf Club, Montgomerie Links, Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An and the soon-to-open Hoiana Shores among its members - was founded to capture the attention of golfers worldwide.
Established in Bangkok in 1997, Golfasian has a membership base numbering more than 160,000.
“It’s a real boost for us to have an operator as able as Golfasian on board,” said Adam Calver, director of golf at Laguna Golf Lang Co.
“It has been the leader in golf tourism throughout South-east Asia for the past two decades – including being awarded the Best Tour Operator in Vietnam several years running.”
Central Vietnam already has a reputation as one of Asia’s most complete golf destinations and it is hoped that a coordinated push to bring golf visitors to the area will serve to build on the area’s already strong appeal.
“Central Vietnam is certainly one of the best golf destinations in the region,” said Mark Siegel, managing director of Golfasian. “There’s everything from traditional links-style golf to tropical garden-style layouts. Together we can showcase all these great courses as well as the compelling tourism activities available in this part of Vietnam.”
