The Golf Tourism Network has partnered with the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) to assist the industry-leading event in continuing its expansion as the only dedicated global golf tourism show.
Since its inception in 1998, IGTM has been delivering unrivalled opportunities to its growing portfolio of exhibitors and buyer partners. Offering a truly unique and exclusive experience, IGTM has been able to host the 4-day trade event at various locations across the globe, giving its attendees the chance to create new business while discovering new cultures and destinations at the same time.
IGTM is firmly established as the leading global golf travel event and has clear ambitions for future progression. Boasting the most diverse list of pre-qualified golf travel buyers and an exhibitor list with true global appeal, the show strives for further excellence by offering valuable industry insights through its dedicated partners.
Danny Seal, Managing Director of Golf Tourism Network, remarked: “We are extremely excited to be working more closely with the IGTM team. Having seen the event grow and flourish in its 25-year existence, it’s clear to see that we share the same values with regards to creating unmatched B2B opportunities through a core network of market-leading buyers. IGTM has always been the ‘go-to’ industry event in the calendar, giving buyers and exhibitors an all-encompassing, unmatched experience that never fails to deliver new business. We’re looking forward to where this new partnership can take both IGTM and the Golf Tourism Network.”
David Griffiths, IGTM Event Manager, added: “This new partnership with the Golf Tourism Network allows us to leverage their network, expertise, and in-depth industry knowledge to enhance the IGTM experience further. As the show continues to expand, we are always looking for further opportunities to add value to both our exhibitors and buyers in attendance. The partnership ensures we continue to be proactive when it comes to sourcing new market-leading buyers for the event, which only enriches the scope for new business at IGTM. We are excited to welcome the Golf Tourism Network as an official event partner at the show.”
This year’s edition of IGTM takes place in Lisbon, Portugal from October 16-19, and already boasts a wealth of global exhibitors and buyers registered for the event. Managed by exhibition experts RX (Reed Exhibitions), the show continues its recognised four-day programme with more than 14,000 pre-scheduled meetings taking place throughout the week. Alongside the convention, the new business opportunities continue with various destination functions, presentations, and the legendary IGTM parties held in stunning locations all around the city.
The Golf Tourism Network will be supporting the event by recruiting new leads through their bespoke, invite-only, business-to-business platform. The industry specialists add yet another layer of expertise to an already diverse and flourishing event that expands year after year. Exhibitors can tap into the resources on offer from the GTN team, including diary management, exhibition preparation, and targeted follow-up, as part of their costs to attend the event.
