The International Golf Travel Market is the ideal platform to showcase the extensive golf offer provided by the Community of Madrid to the 400 buyers from various markets who have registered for this edition of the event.

The IGTM, an exclusively professional event, brings together every year 1,200 industry professionals – touroperators, travel agents, booking portals, journalists, visitors…- and 500 exhibitors from 55 countries including golf courses, hotels, resorts and destinations. This year’s edition is supported by the Govern Balear, Turespaña and the Majorca Council.

Madrid provides more golf facilities within a 35-mile radius than any other European capital. It features additionally an extremely varied accommodation offer, restaurants for all pockets, monuments, museums, shopping, football, modern infrastructures and excellent communications.

Being one of the most visited cities in Europe throughout the year, tourism is a strategic sector for Spain’s capital and an essential economic factor contributing to the generation of thousands of jobs. Spain is the second most popular golf destination behind the USA, and it has been proved that golf tourists spend on average five times more than standard tourists, which benefits a variety of sectors besides the golf industry.
