Thailand aiming to be No 1 for golfers
Thailand is set to launch Golf In A Kingdom, a collection of the country’s best golf clubs, hotels and resorts, on the international market.
Established five years ago, Golf In A Kingdom has grown to 23 members, comprising 12 top courses and 10 hotels in all major golf regions of the country.
The international launch, to be held at Siam Country Club’s Plantation Course on May 1, will be attended by 60 golf tourism executives from Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.
"Thailand has grown in stature immensely in the past five years as a golf tourism destination," said Golf in a Kingdom founder, Mark Siegel.
"We estimate total inbound golf tourism will reach 750,000 this year, double the number at the time Golf In A Kingdom was launched, with at least half the visitors coming from within Asia itself.”
Thailand receives more than 60% of all golf tourists to Asia and is expected to challenge Spain and the United States as the world’s favourite golf destination.
