IGTOA GOLF TOURISM CONFERENCE

Kerry Suite, The Rose Hotel

This year’s golf conference “The State of Play” will firstly involve a presentation of the results and feedback from our tour operator member research conducted in the 1st Quarter of this year by Sporting Insights. The objective of the research was to measure the number of golf breaks IGTOA members deliver, the value that this equates to and provide a better understanding of who those visitors are, where they come from and their importance to golf tourism in Ireland. This will be followed by a panel discussion to hear the thoughts of industry experts on the data and to discuss enabling factors to support continued growth in the sector.
