Despite the
recent events of September 11th, golf travel delegates from over 30
countries and all 5 continents will attend International Golf Travel
Market which is to take place from 5 - 8 December 2001 in Sun City,
South Africa.
IGTM Event Manager, Mark Walsh, commented on the resilience shown by the
golf travel industry at this uncertain time: '‘Many delegates have
explained that it is even more important for them to attend IGTM this
year in order to discuss with colleagues the way ahead for the future
and the strategies that will need to be implemented.’
High quality buyers will attend IGTM 2001, with representation from all
the major golf tour operators including Barwell Leisure, Longshot
Holidays, Leisure Link, Lotus Super Travel and British Airways Holidays.
International Golf Travel Market is held at a different host destination
each year. The destinations are chosen based on their golf facilities
and attraction to the golf travel market. Sun City in South Africa, this
year’s destination, is no exception. This unique resort offers two
world-renowned golf courses and a huge range of sports, leisure
activities, entertainment and game viewing.
IGTM is the only forum which brings together all sides of the travel
industry in a programme of pre-scheduled one to one diary appointments.
The show schedule is strongly geared to both formal and informal
networking opportunities. Walsh continues: ‘In addition, this year the
event will take place the week after The Nedbank Million Dollar Golf
Challenge and major golf celebrities including Gary Player are likely to
be in attendance.’ |
