Following this year’s successful International Golf Travel Market in Lisbon, organiser Reed Exhibitions has confirmed that the event will return to Portugal’s capital city in 2024, with Europe’s leading golf travel industry event taking place from October 14-17 at Feira Internacional de Lisboa.
This marks the first time in the event’s history that IGTM has returned to the same city for consecutive years.
According to consultancy firm Future Market Insights, golf tourism globally is expected to be worth some $23.3 billion by the end of the 2023, of which $3.3 billion will be sold in Europe alone. IGTM is the community for golf travel professionals. At its heart, the event hosts pre-scheduled meetings between golf destinations, resorts, and courses and golf travel agents, travel advisers, and tour operators. Through face-to-face meetings, up to 1,300 industry leaders come together to cultivate and shape the outbound golf tourism market.
David Griffiths, RX’s Event Manager for IGTM, said: “We are excited to return to Lisbon for another busy IGTM event. Our attendees have seen the city in action, experienced some of the golf courses at our Golf Day, and enjoyed the delights that Lisbon has to offer. The team are already working on improvements for the 2024 edition and can’t wait to welcome the ‘who’s who’ of the golf tourism industry back to Portugal’s capital city in October.”
The 2024 event will see different venues used for IGTM Golf Day and the official IGTM social functions throughout the week. The speed networking session will be back again for all attendees and give increased opportunities for exhibiting brands to meet with the international media present.
