November 6, 2014 – Madrid has presented “Golf Tourism Madrid”, its new platform to promote Madrid as an international golf destination. The presentation occurred during its presence at the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM), the most important annual meeting for golf tour operators. IGTM 2014 took place last week in Italy with the participation of more than 1,300 industry professionals.

Madrid positions itself as a different and unique alternative for the attractive international golf tourism market. Under the claim “Golf in the City” the platform promotes jointly Madrid’s impressive touristic offer and its excellent golf courses, and also provides with all the required services to fully enjoy both activities together.

Its easy access through Madrid-Barajas Airport, a diverse and experienced tourism industry and a great range of quality courses make of Madrid a wonderful golf destination. Therefore, the initiative received a strong support at IGTM and tour operators were very happy to include another very competitive option in their golf destinations offer.

Golf Tourism Madrid is an initiative that accounts for the official support of Madrid’s Regional Government and Madrid’s Golf Federation. In the project also take part five of the region’s competitive golf courses, some among Spain’s most emblematic: Centro Nacional de Golf, Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, El Encín Golg, La Herrería and Olivar de la Hinojosa.
