According to the municipal Department of Tourism, besides promotional programs to contribute to the city’s tourism development, the department also focuses on strengthening activities enhancing the quality of tourism services, investing in building new products in order to improve visitors' experience as well as concentrate on creating luxury products to attract middle and high-end tourist segments, such as golf tourism.
Golf tourists are not similar to traditional visitors. They often return to the country many times and are willing to pay for luxury products and services. Therefore, golf tourism is expected to sharply develop in the coming time, said Mr. Vu The Binh, Chairman of the Vietnam Tourism Association.
