Golf tourism is attracting high-end tourists.

In Thai Nguyen, along with the development of tourism infrastructure and modern golf courses, golf tourism is gradually being exploited, opening up a new direction for the local tourism industry. With its advantageous location near Hanoi, convenient transportation, and lush green natural landscape, Thai Nguyen has many conditions to develop resort tourism products combined with golf.

Glory Golf Course is an 18-hole course built to international standards.

Thai Nguyen currently has many industrial zones with a large number of foreign experts, engineers, and investors living and working there. This group has a high demand for high-end sports , entertainment, and leisure activities such as golf. Unlike mass tourists, golf tourists tend to have high spending power and are likely to return multiple times.

In addition to golf fees, tourists also utilize accompanying services such as luxury accommodation, fine dining , spa treatments, shopping, and sightseeing experiences. This presents an opportunity for Thai Nguyen to develop high-quality tourism products, enhance service value, and gradually establish a high-end resort tourism segment linked to sports.

Currently, several large-scale, modern golf courses have been developed in the province, attracting a large number of golfers from both within and outside the country. Notably, the Glory Golf Course, with 18 holes built to international standards, covers an area of ​​nearly 54 hectares in Nhe Hamlet, Thanh Cong Commune. It is located approximately 12km from the center of Pho Yen Ward, 32km from the center of Thai Nguyen Province, and about 60km from the center of Hanoi ; 38km from Noi Bai Airport and about 30km from the center of Vinh Phuc Province.

The golf course is planned based on the natural ecosystem, nestled on the eastern slopes of Tam Dao and situated near the road connecting Thai Nguyen, Bac Ninh, and Phu Tho provinces. This area boasts beautiful terrain, fresh air, a diverse ecosystem, and significant potential for developing high-end resort tourism. This is also considered a crucial advantage for forming a golf tourism complex combined with resort, wellness, and eco-tourism experiences.

During the April 30th holiday, Glory Golf Course welcomed hundreds of visitors who came to enjoy the services.

Mr. Park Seung Son, CEO of Glory Golf Course, said: "We officially opened Glory Golf Course on April 30th. Beyond meeting golfing needs, we aim to develop a high-end resort model combining fine dining, accommodation, and unique experiences. Visitors can connect to and explore many famous destinations in the province, such as the Nui Coc Lake Tourist Area, camping areas in Quan Chu, and specialty tea regions showcasing the local culture. Despite being newly opened, Glory Golf Course has already received positive feedback, with a steady increase in visitors, demonstrating the potential for development of a high-end sports and resort tourism model in the area."

According to a survey by the Provincial Tourism Association, a golfer can spend from several million to tens of millions of VND on a 2-3 day trip, depending on the quality of services used. For international tourists or high-end business travelers, spending is even higher as they often choose all-inclusive resort packages, personalized services, and combine it with networking with partners and groups. Therefore, golf tourism programs will be designed flexibly according to the needs of tourists, meeting both sporting activities and providing opportunities to experience the unique cultural features and natural beauty of Thai Nguyen.

With its inherent potential and well-planned development strategy, golf tourism is expected to become one of the high-end tourism products, contributing to enhancing competitiveness and increasing revenue for Thai Nguyen's tourism industry. The combination of sports, relaxation, and local cultural experiences not only opens up opportunities to attract high-quality tourists but also creates momentum to promote the development of services, trade, and the image of the "land of the finest tea" to domestic and international friends.
