The female golfers played very well, demonstrating great tenacity and sportsmanship.

Ms. Bui Thi Ngoc Hieu, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, said that this is both a sport and a bonding and sharing activity among golfers. With the participation of many domestic and foreign golfers, along with the support of businesses, the ITE HCMC Golf Tourism Tournament 2025 also affirms its role as a unique tourism - sports product, contributing to raising the tourism brand of Ho Chi Minh City on the international map.

Expanding golf activities associated with tourism to Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau according to Ho Chi Minh City's new spatial orientation will create a chain of regionally linked experiences, enhancing the attractiveness of Vietnam's destinations," said Mr. Trinh Nguyen Hung Dung.
