It is the second time the city has held such a high calibre golfing event behind the first successful edition in 2017, which played alongside an APEC meeting.
According to Tan Van Vuong, Deputy Director of the Danang Department of Tourism, the event offers a prime chance for the city to highlight its tourism potential, particularly in golf tourism, while promoting its world-class services, luxurious five-star hotels and resorts, and natural landscapes.
Peter Walton, President of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), said that AGTC took place in Danang for the first time in 2017. At that time, there were only four golf courses in Danang and the central region. Today, Danang is home to up to eight world-renowned golf courses.
Danang has set a goal to welcome 12 million tourists this year.
