According to records, the number of visitors coming to visit, eat and experience here has increased significantly during the tournament days.

“I have often taken golfers to play golf before, but this is the first time I have seen Nhon Ly so crowded for such a big tournament,” said Lao, 38, a technology taxi driver in Quy Nhon Dong ward, when he picked up a family of golfers participating in the tournament who were staying in Nhon Ly fishing village to FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon course.

Golden opportunity to promote the locality

Sharing with Tien Phong reporter, Mr. Tran Viet Quang - Chairman of Quy Nhon Dong Ward People's Committee (Gia Lai) affirmed that the local golf course being chosen as the venue for the national championship shows the trust of the Organizing Committee, and is also a very good opportunity to promote the ward's tourism .

"A locality that hosts many such big tournaments will certainly promote tourism and attract tourists very well," Mr. Quang shared.

Coco Jambo Nhon Ly restaurant has recently attracted a large number of locals and tourists to visit and eat.

Not only do local authorities expect to welcome more large-scale sporting events, but the business community also looks forward to this, considering it a "golden" opportunity to both serve sports fans and spread cultural values and local identity.
