According to deputy general director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) Nguyen Le Phuc, many experts said that Vietnam has great potential and opportunities to become a golf paradise of Asia, but the country has few golf tourism products and the number of international visitors taking golf tours remains small.
