With its favorable geographical location, harmonious landscape between sea and primeval forest along with international standard infrastructure, The Grand Ho Tram Strip easily becomes a “magnet” attracting large-scale events at domestic and international levels.
The resounding success of the IBF & WBO Professional Boxing Tournament series, followed by the 21st Angel's Fighting Championship (AFC21) and the National Club Blitz Chess Championship for The Grand Ho Tram 2022 last year are typical examples of this, creating a springboard to increase the heat of the name The Grand Ho Tram Strip in the field of organizing large-scale sporting events.
Hosting a series of prestigious events starting in 2023
Kicking off the Year of the Cat as a sponsor of the first Miss Charm International beauty pageant organized by Vietnamese people, The Grand Ho Tram Strip continues to make its mark by hosting the prestigious Lexus Challenge 2023 golf tournament. The event lasts from February 21 to 24 and attracts a large number of 126 professional and amateur athletes.
The Bluffs - the "dream course" of golfers and the venue of the prestigious Lexus Challenge event
In addition to the list of famous athletes, Lexus Challenge 2023 is also the opening tournament for Vietnamese golf in 2023 with a record total prize value of up to 2 billion VND. All rounds take place on The Bluffs course, 74 hectares wide, a location in the "Top 100 most beautiful golf courses in the world" according to the prestigious magazine Golf Digest, and is also evaluated by the Lexus Challenge organizers as an international-class competition course with many challenges, contributing to creating many thrilling competitions and many surprises.
Familiar destination for prestigious sporting events
Following the success of Lexus Challenge 2023 and a series of impressive sporting events last year, The Grand Ho Tram Strip quickly became the "guarantee" for even larger sporting events this year.
Most recently, the 2023 National Chess Championship will take place from March 3 to 11 with the participation of 200 athletes from 20 provinces and cities, attracting the participation of many grandmasters and grandmasters in Vietnam. The tournament is organized by the Vietnam Chess Federation in coordination with the Department of Culture and Sports of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province in association with The Grand Ho Tram Strip. The competition revolves around the competition for the men's and women's championship in all three categories: standard chess, rapid chess and blitz chess.
The success of the 2022 National Club Blitz Chess Championship for The Grand Ho Tram Strip Cup is a stepping stone for the resort to continue to become the host venue for the 2023 National Chess Championship.
This activity is part of The Grand Ho Tram Strip's efforts to turn the complex into a leading destination for entertainment and sports activities, while also contributing to promoting Ba Ria - Vung Tau as a destination and promoting the development of resort tourism here. In particular, sports and sea tourism are also oriented by the Provincial Government as a foundation model for the development of local services, attracting tourists from Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces of Vung Tau.
Another notable sporting event taking place at The Grand Ho Tram Strip is the 23rd Angel's Fighting Championship (AFC23) mixed martial arts tournament on March 10. The program brings together 16 famous fighters from countries with strengths in MMA in Asia and internationally, promising to dedicate to the audience 8 dramatic and super attractive matches in the 5-star complex. Notably, The Grand Ho Tram Strip also encourages the sporting spirit by offering free tickets to participate in AFC23 when booking directly with the resort.
AFC21 took place for the first time at The Grand Ho Tram Strip complex in late 2022, receiving much cheer from fans and becoming the premise for the magnificent return of AFC23.
The representative of The Grand Ho Tram Strip shared that, in addition to Chess and AFC23, there will be many other sports tournaments held at the resort in the remaining 3 quarters of 2023. This not only contributes to nurturing sports talent and supporting tournaments but also creates many unique accommodation experiences only available at The Grand Ho Tram.
