Earlier this year several reports came out about the estimated growth of the global golf tourism market in the next four years with figures of $9-billion mentioned. Techanvio mentioned Ascot Tours as a key market player in their report.
The 2024 IGTM will feature a South African pavilion with 12 exhibitors, including Ascot. This follows the launch of the Southern Africa Tourism Services Association’s first Golf Chapter in February this year.
At the time, SATSA said by focusing collaborative efforts through this chapter, South Africa’s exceptional golf offerings could effectively be showcased, leveraging the country’s unique blend of world-class courses, hospitality, cultural experiences, gastronomy, wine, and safari adventures.
SATSA’s Golf Chapter is working closely with South African Tourism (SAT) on various other strategic initiatives, including funding a destination presentation at IGTM 2024 to raise awareness and producing a promotional video to showcase South Africa’s golf tourism products.
