Trade Events We work alongside each destination to uniquely design and deliver every aspect of our events. We bring market leading buyers from within the Golf Tourism Network to meet with host destination suppliers whilst giving them the opportunity to discover the destination first-hand. Our intimate events are created and adapted to achieve the objectives of our destination partners, with no two events the same.
”The Golf Tourism Network team have successfully given us a platform and the knowledge to engage with domestic and international buyers. The Wisconsin Golf Tourism Week opened so many doors to enable our core golf suppliers the chance to develop relationships with tour operators, travel agents, and event planners that would otherwise have been extremely difficult.
Thank you for giving our state the chance to shine!”
