With just one week to go the Team Scotland golf partners,
Golf Tourism Scotland, VisitScotland, Scottish Enterprise, HIE the SGU / SLGA
and with the support of the PGA in Scotland, would once again like to invite
you to join us for the launch of the Scottish Golf Tourism Development Strategy
2013 - 2020, "Driving
Forward Together" at Murrayshall House Hotel and Golf
Courses next Thursday 12th September 2013.
"Driving Forward
Together" is the first national golf tourism strategy and has been
developed by both the golf tourism industry and the public sector working in
partnership for the benefit of golf tourism businesses in Scotland.
Golf Tourism is a tourism sector
that is acknowledged to deliver growth and jobs, the combined value of Golf
Tourism to Scotland is £220 million and it is estimated that this could grow to
over £300 million by 2020. It is an industry in which Scotland competes well
internationally. KPMG Golf Travel Insights 2013 ranked Scotland third in the
world in terms of future golfing tourism hotspots.
But to continue to be a contender
in this fiercely competitive global marketplace we need to ensure that we are
all aligned behind a common ambition. A key strand to the strategy is unifying
the golf tourism sector in a Team Scotland approach and modernising the approach
taken by many businesses to marketing, promotion and customer service.
We do hope you can join us at the
launch event to continue the discussion about what we can do together to ensure
that ambition for growth and Scotland "to be the world's leading golfing
destination by 2020" is achieved.
