WORLD GOLF AWARDS 2024 SET FOR MADEIRA DEBUT
The beautiful islands of Madeira will play host to the 11th annual World Golf Awards 21-22 November 2024. Leading names from the golfing world will join VIPs and figureheads from the golf tourism industry for what will mark the first World Golf Awards to take place in Madeira.
The prize-giving evening at Savoy Palace from Savoy Signature, Funchal will form the climax of an exclusive golfing itinerary, which will include golf at the two world-class courses of Santo da Serra and Palheiro.
The ceremony will bring together golf tourism leaders from nations across Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Latin America, North America and Oceania.
Chris Frost, Managing Director, World Golf Awards, said: “It is an honour for us to host World Golf Awards in Madeira for the first time. This Atlantic jewel is an island blessed with a sublime tropical climate, a fascinating culture, delicious gourmet food and incredible flower and fauna – making it the perfect destination for golf. I greatly look forward to joining the finest organisations in golf tourism this November.”
Madeira, otherwise known as ‘the islands of eternal spring’, is just a short flight from most European cities. On the same latitude as Morocco, the Atlantic archipelago has a sub-tropical climate and unique eco-system, making it the perfect destination for golf.
Eduardo Jesus, Regional Secretary of Tourism and Culture and President of the Madeira Promotion Bureau, said: “It is with great pleasure that Madeira will be hosting this event, giving us the opportunity to assert ourselves as a golf destination, aligning with the work carried out by the Madeira Promotion Bureau, which structured the golf product and began promoting it as never before in the archipelago.”
A short, scenic walk from the heart of Funchal’s charming Old Town, the Savoy Palace is an exquisite modern take on island hospitality. The bold, curved structure is home to chic guestrooms crafted with high-end materials and featuring balconies from which to soak up the ocean views.
The Robert Trent Jones Senior’s spectacular 27-hole Santo da Serra is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes you could imagine. The premier golf and country club is
the ideal spot to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The 18-hole Palheiro is one of Europe’s most beautiful golf courses. The par 72 championship course meanders through a pristine environment of maritime pine and botanical woodland embroidered with lush, sub-tropical vegetation. At nearly 500m above sea level, the location is blessed with dramatic views of Madeira's mountainous skyline and the vast Atlantic Ocean.
MADEIRA TO TAKE CENTRE STAGE AS HOST OF WORLD TRAVEL AWARDS GRAND FINAL 2024
World Travel Awards has revealed that its Grand Final 2024 will take place in the idyllic Atlantic islands of Madeira on 24 November. The leaders and figureheads of global travel and tourism will gather in the capital Funchal to find out who amongst them has been voted the industry’s best of the best.
The red-carpet banquet will take place at Savoy Palace from Savoy Signature, and will mark the climax of WTA’s Grand Tour 2024, a global search for the world’s finest travel organisations.
On the same latitude as Morocco, Madeira has a sub-tropical climate and unique ecosystem, making it the perfect year-round destination. The Atlantic archipelago is also just a short flight from most European cities.
Graham Cooke, Founder, World Travel Awards, says: “I am honoured that our Grand Final Gala Ceremony 2024 will take place in majestic Madeira, a destination blessed with
incredible landscapes, a fascinating culture and delicious cuisine. This Atlantic jewel is also a world-class example of sensible tourism: a sector that is the engine of the economy but well balanced and managed sustainably.”
He adds: “I look forward to joining the most senior travel industry figureheads from across the world for what promises to be a fabulous event that will live long in everyone’s memory.”
Eduardo Jesus, Regional Secretary of Tourism and Culture and President of the Madeira Promotion Bureau, says: “It is a great honour
for Madeira to host this important ceremony,” recalling that the WTA Europe Gala Ceremony 2019 took place in Funchal.
He adds: “The hosting of this event presents itself as a once in a lifetime opportunity to show the world how Madeira is a unique and special destination.”
A short, scenic walk from the heart of Funchal’s charming Old Town, the Savoy Palace is an exquisite modern take on island hospitality.
Roberto Santa Clara, CEO, Savoy Signature, says: “Hosting the WTA Grand Final at Savoy Palace presents a unique opportunity, and
we are fully committed to embracing this challenge, striving to enhance the prestige of the hotel, showcasing the beauty of the island, and promoting Portugal on a global scale.”
During the same week, Madeira will also play host to the 11th annual World Golf Awards, part of the World Travel Awards family. The ceremony will bring together golf tourism leaders from across the world for what will mark the first World Golf Awards to take place in Madeira. The prize-giving evening at Savoy Palace will form the climax of an exclusive golfing itinerary, which will include golf at the world-class courses of Santo da Serra and Palheiro.

Experience
Madeira for yourself
ACCESS MADEIRA’S WORLD-CLASS GOLF COURSES WITH UNIQUE PASSPORT
The Madeira Golf Passport (MGP) is playing a crucial role in forging Madeira’s reputation as a global hub for golf tourism. The partnership between the Madeira Promotion Bureau and the three golf courses in Madeira islands, Santo da Serra Golf Club, Palheiro Golf, and Porto Santo Golf, aims is to promote and establish the archipelago as a premier destination for golf enthusiasts.
With this goal in mind, the brand has consolidated the offering of this sport in Madeira by creating a unique passport, which currently allows golfers to play at any of the regional courses by purchasing a package of three, four, or five rounds.
Eight years after its implementation, the Madeira Golf Passport has become an essential element of the islands’ identity and is now a recognised brand in strategic markets where the archipelago is perceived as an exceptional yearround golf destination that continues to expand.
As indicated by the most recent data from the Regional Directorate of Statistics of Madeira, in the year referenced, the three Madeira golf courses totalled 75,072 rounds—a record figure for the archipelago, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 8.3%. Revenues also rose to €3.8 million, marking a 22.1% increase compared to 2022.
THE COURSES
The uniqueness and excellence of the facilities at the three regional golf courses justify this ongoing success, making Madeira a one-of-a-kind golf destination in the world:
PORTO SANTO GOLF
Designed by the renowned Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros, Porto Santo Golf offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and a challenging game over 6,434 metres. Each round is an adventure spanning 18 holes, guiding golfers along the north and south coasts of the island, showcasing basalt cliffs and panoramic views of sandy dunes and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Since its inauguration in 2004, this paradise for golf lovers has made significant strides towards sustainability, having recently received certification from the GEO Foundation, an international label that recognises good environmental practices.
PALHEIRO GOLF
Palheiro Golf is another iconic course in Madeira, located in the heart of the Palheiro Nature Estate, just 10 minutes from the capital. Its privileged location offers golfers panoramic views over the Desertas Islands and the Funchal amphitheatre, ensuring an unparalleled visual spectacle over 18 holes.
Sustainability is also a priority at Palheiro Golf, which is currently in the process of obtaining certification from the GEO Foundation.
SANTO DA SERRA GOLF CLUB
Equally stunning is the Santo da Serra Golf Club, which has been providing truly sublime experiences to its visitors since 1937. With 27 holes divided into three loops, this course, redesigned in 1991 by architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., is like a botanical garden overlooking the bay of Machico and the Desertas Islands, challenging golfers to surpass themselves with each stroke.
Commitment to environmental preservation is also a hallmark of this club, which features an innovative irrigation system that has significantly reduced water consumption.
All information about the Madeira Golf Passport, as well as the reservation form for the mentioned packages, can be found at madeiragolfpassport.com.
Bucket List EXPERIENCES
Belize, with its pristine Barrier Reef teeming with coral, marine life and the Great Blue Hole, offers unparalleled underwater adventures for divers and snorkellers alike. Beyond the coast, its lush rainforests are home to ancient Maya heritage sites and diverse wildlife, making it a dream destination for nature enthusiasts and cultural travellers. Belize is an outstanding bucket-list destination with adventure activities including tubing through archaeological underwater cave systems, zip-lining through rainforest canopy, and kayaking down the Macal River, all whilst being surrounded by the unique and lush landscape that Belize has to offer.
Marine Life
Over 500 different species of marine life can be observed in the waters of Belize, from nurse sharks, turtles, and manta rays to whale sharks and dolphins. Diving and snorkelling off the hundreds of cayes is the perfect setting to experience marine wonders in their natural habitat. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Belize Barrier Reef, stretching over 180 miles across the Caribbean coastline, home to the mesmerising Great Blue Hole. 12% of Belize’s waters are designated Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), resulting in a rich and diverse array of marine life which is second-to-none.
BELIZE A PIONEER IN SUSTAINABILITY TOURISM
Belize’s primary distinction lies in its extraordinary natural environment, rich biodiversity, and marine ecosystems, making sustainability imperative to preserve these invaluable assets.
The dedication to sustainability and eco-tourism countrywide is evident, with several programmes to attract travellers while protecting the environment. Belize supports its wildlife, providing sanctuaries for endangered and protected species, including jaguars, howler monkeys, and scarlet macaws. The marine life is extensively preserved by a network of Marine Protected Areas covering 12% of Belize’s waters. In addition, Belize’s flora and fauna cover over 70% of the country, with numerous projects in place to maintain the landscape, such as the Maya Forest Corridor, and many protected forest areas serving as wildlife sanctuaries.
Belize’s local businesses are deeply involved in and committed to sustainable development and eco-tourism practices within the country.
For example, Belizing.com supports womenowned SMEs through digital transformation and digital skills training. The initiative strives to promote leadership, economic independence, and social equality across the country through education, skill development, and support networks.
The Che’il Mayan Chocolate Factory is owned and managed by a local Maya couple in the Stann Creek District of Belize. The factory works alongside local farmers to source cacao beans and produce authentic chocolate bars, cocoa powder, cocoa tea, and Maya Che’il coffee. The factory offers tours of its cacao farms and demonstrations of the chocolate-making process to provide guests with an immersive cultural experience.
The Belize Eco- Museum, in contrast to traditional museums, features symbolic pieces in original surroundings versus collecting and showcasing objects within a single structure. The museum consists of a central hub and several satellite locations, producing a network combining architecture, landscapes, and community interaction. The primary museum presents Belize City’s narrative through unique exhibitions, while the satellite locations, representing their own assets, exhibit themed displays, cultural artefacts, and tell personal stories. The satellites are linked to the core through a network, taking visitors on a diverse journey of discovery.
The Ts’unu’un Pok-ta-Pok Ball Court, located at Jardín Pachamama in the Orange Walk District, was launched as part of the Belize Tourism Board’s efforts to protect Maya history and encourage tourism in Northern Belize. The sacred sport was a significant aspect of the ancient Maya civilisation, and remains of the ball courts can be found at several archaeological sites, including Lamanai and Cahal Pech. The Belize Maya Ancestral Maya Sport Pok-ta-Pok (BMAMSP) and the Belize Tourism Board collaborated to build the ball court, a public-private collaboration with a total investment of $75,000.
A group of nine local Maya women founded the San Antonio Women’s Co-operative to “empower women and inspire children”. The women established the cooperative to generate income, develop new skills, and pass down cultural wisdom to both the next generation and visiting tourists. In the town of San Antonio, the success of the initiative, and interest from visitors, has resulted in the initiative being able to employ nine more women and supporting 11 local artisans.
The ClearWater Marine Aquarium is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to conservation and inspiring leadership through the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine species, alongside research and education. The Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association (TASA) is a non-profit organisation and co-manager of the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve with the Belizean government. TASA supervises the atoll's day-to-day management and is critical to the long-term maintenance and preservation of the vast marine ecosystem.
The Belize Barrier Reef Watch programme was founded in collaboration between ECOMAR and the World Wildlife Fund. The project was developed with a principal goal of launching the Coral Bleaching Early Warning Alert System. The objective was to monitor and discuss issue prevention strategies, and the project continues to provide significant data to assist in coral reef preservation goals in Belize.
The Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA) is Belize's largest private-sector tourism organisation. The association focuses on marketing to its members, including hotels, tour operators, restaurants, tour guides, and connecting tourism-related bodies nationwide. BTIA plays a pivotal role in linking the private and public sectors, and as a result of successful BTIA initiatives, tourism has become one of Belize’s largest industries, contributing to an estimated 40% of the nation’s GDP.
Belizing.com operates as an online marketplace website, offering tours, accommodation and transfers within Belize. The business works alongside licensed tourism service providers, listing and promoting their services online. Belizing. com boasts the largest selection of tourism services offered directly by local providers in Belize throughout the Central American destination.
Chan Chich Lodge is a renowned resort in Belize and a private conservation pioneer. Located within 30,000 acres of untouched wilderness and half a million acres of protected conservation land, the unique setting allows for one of the best locations for wildlife viewing in the Americas. Visitors to the resort contribute significantly to the preservation of the country's natural environment and cultural heritage, demonstrating the lodge's dedication to maintaining and protecting Belize’s natural and cultural heritage.
Sea of Life is a women-led organisation that empowers local community action to solve prevalent ocean issues. The organisation operates through collaborative entrepreneurial solutions and extensive education/training. The team also provides expert guidance for ocean policy, research, and planning, with a view to promoting community-based conservation and protecting the ocean.

BELIZE CULTURE L IVES
Community Based Tourism
IS WHERE AND YOU’RE INVITED TO EXPERIENCE IT
Community-based tourism in Belize supports the preservation of the country's unique indigenous communities. Several projects are in place in Belize to introduce tourists to the communities, offering cultural immersion experiences such as Garifuna cooking lessons, drumming experiences or visits to organisations listed in the Garifuna Trail, which provide incredible opportunities to learn about the Garifuna’s history and vibrant culture. The San Antonio Women's Cooperative, created by nine Maya women originally, was established to support local women to earn an income, learn new skills, and pass down their traditional Maya wisdom to both the next generation and visiting tourists.
BELIZE’S RAINFOREST
a realm unlike any other
Belize is a biodiversity and wildlife haven, with over 70% of the country covered by dense rainforest, which is heavily protected by the government. Belize's rainforest, home to jaguar, tapir, and crocodiles, is a realm unlike any other. Over 500 bird species have been identified within the landscape, residing in the treetops, making it a must-visit destination for birdwatchers. Thousands of plants and tropical flowers grow wild in Belize, including an astonishing 250 orchid varieties and 700 tree species. There are countless fascinating animals to observe in numerous sanctuaries, including the elusive jaguar, howler monkey, tapir, and colourful birds
