IGTM ALL SET FOR A RECORD SHOW IN FLORIDA !

The third Annual IGTM (International Golf Travel Market) takes place this December in Florida (10 - 13 December). The event is being jointly hosted by two of the world's most exciting and up and coming golfing destinations:

Jacksonville and St. Augustine and the Beaches, who together offer the golfer of any level a superb range of courses and golfing facilities, plus a whole host of other diverse attractions.

Northeast Florida boasts some 47 golf courses, ranging from plush resorts to attractive public courses. Delegates to IGTM this December will be able to experience a couple of the area's impressive courses during the IGTM Official Golf Tournament, being staged on Wednesday 13th December - the closing day of the show. The event will take place on the TPC Valley and the Slammer and Squire Courses, and is kindly sponsored by Florida's First Coast of Golf. TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course is headquarters of the PGA Tour and its major event, the Players Championship.

IGTM's host destination for year 2000 offers much more than just superb golfing facilities, and visitors to the event can look forward to sampling Jacksonville and St. Augustine and the Beaches' many other attractions during their time off from appointments. Fine restaurants, museums, art galleries, excellent hotels and a vast range of entertainment are just a few of the attractions to tempt the visitor away from the golf course. History lovers will enjoy a trip to historic St Augustine - the USA's oldest, continuously occupied city. And of course, Jacksonville's beaches are legendary, with more than 21 miles of wide white sandy beaches within easy reach of the city.

With so much to offer, Jacksonville, St Augustine and the Beaches makes the perfect venue for this year's International Golf Travel Market, and the event is already on-track to be the biggest and most successful show to date. With 5 months still to go over 70% of floor space has been sold with representation from 28 countries already secured.

For anyone involved in the golf travel sector, a visit to IGTM this December is amust".
