Formed in 2010, the AGIF’s goal is to help grow golf in Asia by providing its members with educational programmes and research that benefits the turf and club industry across the region, while IAGTO strives to deliver information and create opportunities that help its members develop their business faster with over 600 specialist golf tour operators available in 60 countries.   Part of the wider NovaWorld Phan Thiet development, the golf club sits within a 1,000-hectare oceanside supercity project located 200km east of Ho Chi Minh City. The resort will play a central role in helping the Binh Thuan province welcome its target of 17.5 million visitors, including 2.5 million international travellers, to the region by 2030.
