Our History
The Global Home of Golf Travel Business
Since launching in 1998, the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) has grown into the leading business gathering for the global golf travel industry. Now in its 28th edition, IGTM is firmly recognised as the definitive meeting place for the international golf travel community. Golf tourism suppliers join pre-qualified buyers and international press for four days of unmissable pre-scheduled appointments, exclusive networking opportunities and invaluable industry and trend updates. Taking place in a different destination each year, IGTM brings together professionals from across the golf tourism landscape.
Celebrating Destinations, Connecting Markets
This global format is a defining feature of IGTM’s identity. Over the years, IGTM has expanded its reach across continents, spotlighting some of the world’s most celebrated and emerging golf destinations. From the sun-soaked fairways of southern Europe to the vibrant courses of Africa and the Americas, each edition offers delegates a new cultural and commercial perspective. Its rotating location reflects the global nature of the industry and reinforces IGTM’s commitment to discovery, diversity and meaningful connection.
A Resilient Platform Built for the Future
Through shifting landscapes and changing times, including the introduction of a virtual edition in 2020, IGTM has remained a resilient and trusted platform for forging partnerships and driving business. Its continued success lies in its ability to evolve while staying true to its purpose, which is to inspire collaboration and unlock growth across the international golf tourism industry.
