Central Vietnam’s status as one of the world’s premier golf destinations is set to receive a boost when Danang hosts the 12th Asia Golf Tourism Convention (AGTC) from April 2-4, 2025.
Organised by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), the event will bring together leading figures from the global golf tourism industry, shining an international spotlight on the region’s courses, including Laguna Golf Lang Co, Montgomerie Links, and Ba Na Hills Golf Club – the core members of the Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC) collective.
Hosting AGTC 2025 is expected to deliver substantial benefits to Central Vietnam’s economy, reinforcing Danang’s position as a leading golf tourism hub. The event will bring increased visibility, attract more inbound golf travellers, and generate business opportunities for hotels, restaurants, and other tourism-related sectors. Additionally, AGTC will highlight the support of local authorities and tourism boards in advancing Danang’s golf industry, ensuring sustained growth and international recognition in the years to come.
“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.
Montgomerie Links is preparing extensively for AGTC 2025, focusing on hosting fam trips for international tour operators and media, and ensuring the course and hospitality offerings showcase the best of Vietnam. The club is also refining its partnership strategies and expanding its outreach through digital platforms and exclusive Stay & Play package offers.
Meanwhile, Ba Na Hills Golf Club will leverage its long-standing relationship with IAGTO to strengthen ties with leading golf tour operators, host site inspections, and promote its award-winning layout.
“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.”
Just a short distance north, Laguna Golf Lang Co will also leverage AGTC as a springboard to expand its market presence, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, and other longhaul destinations. This April, the club will launch a new online booking platform, offering direct tee time reservations and stay-and-play packages, while a dedicated B2B portal will streamline industry partnerships and enhance collaboration.
