International Golf Travel Market coming to the Algarve in November 2012
At this year’s fair, which was held in Belek, Turkey, the Algarve region was chosen and announced precisely because it is one of the most beautiful and popular golfing regions in Europe.
Peter Grimster, the event organiser, was delighted with the choice, commenting: “Portugal has been at the heart of the golf tourism industry for the past three decades and it has become one of the best destinations in Europe. The quality of the golf courses and resorts is exceptional and we will have all of the necessary logistics to organise a truly fantastic event.”
The event is the perfect chance for golfers to meet suppliers and media representatives of the sport in a golfing extravaganza. In what is an ever-popular region amongst golfers, the international event is set to provide an economic and touristic boost to golf in the Algarve region. Reed Travel Exhibitions is already gearing up to host another successful event next November after the success it enjoyed this year.
The Algarve Tourism Association was always confident in the region being announced as the venue for the event and has commented on the decision in a statement: “The region’s excellent infrastructures, with 250 square kilometres dedicated to golf and the luxury hotels, led to the Algarve being chosen as the host for this prestigious event.”
Golfers from around the world converge on the Algarve year upon year for some exciting and altogether rewarding rounds on the links. It is widely regarded as one of the top golf breaks destinations not only in Europe, but around the world, so next year’s event is set to be one to remember.
