Nhon Ly wakes up

In August, the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025 kicked off at FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon (Quy Nhon Dong Ward, Gia Lai). The event attracted 125 professional and amateur golfers along with a large number of fans, supporters, and businesses.

The heat did not stop within the tournament but also spread strongly to the local community, especially the Nhon Ly fishing village area, a peaceful and pristine destination, now suddenly becoming more vibrant than ever.

Fans always follow and cheer for athletes.

Just over 10 minutes away from FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon, Nhon Ly fishing village has unexpectedly become an ideal stopover for tourists and fans when coming to the tournament. 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, 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 with golfers participating in the tournament who were staying in Nhon Ly fishing village to FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon.

Ms. Le Nguyen Nha Trang, 36 years old, owner of Coco Jambo Nhon Ly Restaurant, said that with the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025 held at FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon, she felt the atmosphere in Nhon Ly become more bustling than usual.

According to Ms. Trang, the number of out-of-town customers coming to eat at the restaurant has increased, especially on weekends. “There are no specific statistics yet, but it is clear that it is much more crowded than usual,” she said.

Golden opportunity to promote 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 local cultural values and identity.

“I hope there will be more similar tournaments organized to further promote local tourism development,” said Ms. Le Nguyen Nha Trang, owner of Coco Jambo Nhon Ly Restaurant.

Nhon Ly fishing village is increasingly becoming an attractive destination for tourists inside and outside the province, with majestic natural landscapes such as Eo Gio, Ky Co with rustic, wild but vibrant beauty.

The National Golf Tournament - Gia Lai 2025 has ended, but the echoes with positive signals from the larger number of tourists than usual, the image of local tourism being spread, is a clear proof of the value beyond sports of a professionally and methodically organized event.
