LookAtVietnam Bridge - An 18-hole golf course by Vinh Thuan Joint Venture Company has been inaugurated in Mong Cai Beach, the northern province of Quang Ninh. This is a major project under the provincial tourism development strategy.

The golf course, located along the romantic Tra Co Beach, was designed to international standard. This is the first course in Vietnam having two separate runs one for training and the other for competition. Other services such as restaurants and tour guides around the area are available for guests.

To increase the capacity of the golf course during summer, Vinh Thuan Company established golf tours by sea such as Mong Cai – Hai Phong – Van Don, Mong Cai – Cat Ba and Mong Cai – Hai Phong. Tourists will enjoy tow days in a five-star hotel, go sightseeing and play golf.

The golf course greeted 40 Japanese tourists, 600 Korean tourists and more than 1,000 Chinese tourists. Moreover, the company also provides golf lessons for admirers.

Quang Ninh has much potential to develop tourism because the province is home to famous landscapes in Vietnam such as Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu Pagoda and Tra Co Beach. In the first four months of 2008, the province attracted nearly 1.6 million tourists.
