The award is the result of a year-long voting process among hundreds of experts, media outlets, golf travel companies, golf course owners, hotels, and national golf associations from around the world.

Cities eligible for nomination must meet numerous stringent selection criteria, including golf infrastructure, supporting services for golf activities, and accommodation facilities.

Established in 2014 to raise standards in the golf tourism industry, the World Golf Awards is the world's leading awards system recognizing and honoring outstanding achievements in golf tourism, world-class golf courses, golf destinations, and more.

The title of Best Golf City Destination in the World 2023 is a source of pride, a testament to the efforts and achievements of the capital's tourism industry.

According to tourism experts, golf tourism is considered a promising product, making a significant contribution to attracting international tourists to Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular, especially those from key markets such as South Korea, Japan, the United States, and Europe.

Hanoi boasts an ideal geographical location and flight distance, unique and attractive natural and cultural tourism, rich and distinctive cuisine, and a climate with four distinct seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) that allows golf tourism to thrive year-round.

Attracting tourists to purchase golf tours and utilize golf services helps increase tourist spending, contributing to increased tourism revenue in the city, creating jobs and income for local residents.

Currently, Hanoi has 6 golf course complexes with 10 standard courses such as Long Bien, Van Tri Golf Club, Kings Island Golf, Minh Tri, Legend Hill… and about 10 driving ranges such as Dao Sen, Phuong Dong, Hanoi Club… These are all large, professional golf courses that meet international standards with diverse and attractive natural landscapes, catering to the varied needs of players.

Regarding supporting infrastructure, Hanoi's current accommodation system is diverse and professional, especially the 4-5 star resort hotels which are comprehensively and modernly invested in, with many major brands such as JW Marriott, Sheraton, Metropole, etc. In addition, tourists visiting Hanoi can easily access the golf ecosystem in neighboring localities such as Vinh Phuc, Hoa Binh, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh...
