Golf travel summit showcases new strategies
Sustainability in golf tourism has been taking centre stage this week at International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) in Costa Daurada, Catalonia, Spain, where golf courses, resorts and destinations are showcasing new environmental and social strategies.
Exhibitors are building on a partnership forged at last year’s show in The Algarve, Portugal, between IAGTO, the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, and the Golf Environment Organisation (GEO).
Jonathan Smith, chief executive of GEO, said: "Since last year’s announcement, we have already seen an increasing number of golf courses, resorts and destinations adopting new approaches to advance resource efficiency, conserve nature and extend support to communities."
IGTM has also added its commitment to further promote sustainability in golf tourism by supporting the international water aid charity, Just a Drop, by arranging fundraising initiatives throughout this year’s event, adding to the €4,000 already raised from exhibitor donations.
The 16th edition of IGTM will conclude with the IAGTO Awards, sponsored by Etihad Airways, and the new IAGTO Sustainability Awards in conjunction with GEO.
