in the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) in Tenerife, Spain.

The exhibition, which attracted over 1,400 industry stakeholders, offered the tourism body the chance to meet specialist tour operators and media representatives from 21 countries and highlight the competitive advantages of the island under the theme Golf Cyprus–Fairway to Heaven.

Currently the country’s main markets include the UK, the Nordic countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands.

Based on statistics, golf tourism also contributes to the lengthening of the tourist season since 80 percent of the total number of over 100,000 annual golf rounds on the island is played between September and May.
