Around 450 delegates from 33 countries have attended the Asia Golf Tourism Convention (AGTC) 2025, including official members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) in Da Nang, Vietnam.
This was the eleventh edition of the annual AGTC.
The AGTC 2025 was expected to diversify Da Nang’s golf tourist markets by drawing premium golf tour operators from the attending countries and territories, lessening the city’s reliance on a single or small number of major travel suppliers.

The meetings for AGTC were held on-site at the five-star Sheraton Grand Da Nang Resort & Convention Centre.
AGTC 2025’s main objective was to draw attention to Da Nang’s outstanding golf tourism infrastructure and its capacity to draw tourists from across the world. Da Nang’s goal of becoming “Asia’s Leading Festival and Event Destination” is in line with this programme.
The World Golf Tourism Association also presented the World Golf Tourism Awards as part of AGTC 2025, which recognised top golf courses and travel destinations selected by global golf tour operators.
