The 2016 International Golf Travel Market heads to Majorca
Published: Last updated:
The International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) has announced the 2016 edition of the world’s premier global event for golf tourism suppliers, buyers and media, will be hosted on the Mediterranean island of Majorca.
Majorca will welcome IGTM 2016, organised by Reed Travel Exhibitions, to the Palau de Congressos in Palma, the island’s capital city, November 14-17.
The popular holiday island, which saw 23.1 million passengers pass through Palma Airport in 2014, enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and boasts more than 20 golf courses. With average temperatures rising to 25 ˚C (76˚F) in August, it is the perfect climate for visiting golfers.
Mallorca is also blessed with a host of must-see cultural attractions, entertainment hotspots and wonderful beaches, making it one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.
Vice President and Minister of Innovation, Research and Tourism of the Balearic Islands Government, Biel Barceló, commented: “Golf is a tourist product of great importance to the Balearic Islands, and specifically for Mallorca, as more than 20 high quality golf courses continue to attract visiting golfers, especially in the low and middle season months when temperatures are mild.
“Golfers can fly to Mallorca in just two hours from most major European cities, which is another great advantage.
More than 500 exhibitors, representing national and regional golf tourism organisations, leading resorts and golf courses are currently at this year’s event staged in Tenerife.
