Vietnam Golf Coast Reaches Global Stage at IGTM Cannes

This October, Ba Na Hills Golf Club will represent Da Nang and the entire Vietnam Golf Coast at the prestigious International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) in Cannes, on the sun-soaked southern coast of France.

Before heading to France, Ba Na Hills Golf Club will host one of its key domestic events, the IMG Trophy, on September 13, 2025. Bringing together more than 130 golfers from Vietnam and abroad, the event promises an exciting atmosphere that blends top-tier sportsmanship, cultural exchange, and community connection. This marks another milestone in affirming Vietnam Golf Coast’s reputation as one of Southeast Asia’s premier golf destinations, where world-class courses meet breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality.

At IGTM Cannes, Ba Na Hills Golf Club will showcase its award-winning course at IMG’s exclusive pavilion. Designed by Ryder Cup Europe team captain Luke Donald, the course has become one of Asia’s most celebrated layouts, known for its creative routing, dramatic mountain views, and the only fully lit fairways in Vietnam.

“Taking Ba Na Hills Golf Club to IGTM is a great opportunity to share our story with the international golf community,” said Simon Mees, General Manager of Ba Na Hills Golf Club. “Our uniqueness comes not only from being Luke Donald’s sole design but also from our mission to position Central Vietnam as a leading golf and travel destination on the global map.”

Spanning three days, IGTM is the world’s leading golf tourism trade event, known for its professional networking sessions that bring together more than 40 key buyers and decision-makers. For Ba Na Hills Golf Club, it represents a platform to build new partnerships, strengthen existing relationships, and expand distribution channels across major international markets.

Beyond golf, Da Nang’s appeal lies in its stunning beaches, Michelin-recognized dining scene, and a growing network of world-class hotels and resorts such as InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort and Novotel Danang. Together, they create a compelling destination for high-end travelers seeking both leisure and luxury.

“Da Nang is evolving to stand confidently alongside the world’s leading destinations,” Mees added. “Golf is just one part of the story — alongside our magnificent coastal scenery, cultural heritage, and award-winning hospitality. We are proud to represent both Ba Na Hills and Vietnam Golf Coast at Cannes.”

Through its participation in IGTM Cannes, Ba Na Hills Golf Club aims to strengthen partnerships, expand its international presence, and affirm Central Vietnam’s position as a premier golf destination for global travelers.
