Any opportunity we get to interact and engage with those who operate within the Scottish golf tourism industry is valuable, and this event will give us the chance to provide additional insights and details about the 2024 event whilst showcasing the spectacular host venue.”
Highly anticipated details about the prestigious Scottish Golf Tourism Awards, now in its 11th year of operating, will also be revealed at the launch event. Set to take place in March at the end of Scottish Golf Tourism Week, the awards exist to give Scottish businesses the opportunity to nominate themselves for a variety of categories that aim to highlight and showcase the very best of Scottish golf tourism.
Launched in 2016, and produced by DC Thomson, Scottish Golf Tourism Week is a unique initiative that gives businesses in Scotland the opportunity to engage directly with international inbound golf tour operators. An economic impact report prepared for VisitScotland and Scottish Development International in April 2022 found that suppliers who attend Scottish Golf Tourism Week forecast an average increase in turnover of over £215,000 across the following three years as a direct result of the new connections they build at the event. It is further estimated that the tour operators in attendance bring approximately 50,000 golf tourists into Scotland every year.
