Ms. Bui Thi Ngoc Hieu, Deputy Director of HCMC Department of Tourism, affirmed: "The tournament is not only a sporting event but also an opportunity to connect, spread the spirit of interaction, and elevate HCMC golf tourism to new heights."

Notably, the total prize value this year reaches over 3 billion VND, covering the Best Net prize, the First – Second – Third prizes in the men's (A, B, C) and women's categories, and four technical awards. According to Ms. Doan Ngoc Thao, Deputy General Director of The Swing Sports Tourism JSC, Secretary General of STGS, the strong participation of female golfers has brought a fresh perspective, combining the strength of sports with the elegance and sophistication of women.

The highlight of this year's tournament is the participation of many female golfers, adding charm and diversity to golf tourism.

More than just a competition, the ITE HCMC Golf Tourism Tournament is also seen as an effective channel for promoting tourism images and products.
