CHRISTOPHER FROST WELCOME and this evening we will see who has emerged victorious.

Located in a magnificent natural environment next to Calblanque National Park and the Mediterranean Sea, with a mild year-round climate and enjoying exceptional security and privacy, I am sure you will agree the exclusive resort of La Manga Club is the perfect place for us to gather this year. The resort offers luxury, leisure, and sport in the same place.

Thank you all for joining us here this weekend as we return to La Manga Club for the fifth annual World Golf Awards Gala Ceremony. Our Gala Ceremony has grown over the past five years to become an industry benchmark in golf tourism and it is our honour to welcome you here in the Costa Cálida, Región de Murcia, in southern Spain, as we celebrate this evening.

BREAKING TRAVEL NEWS SPOTLIGHT ON:

GOLF TOURISM

As World Golf Awards arrives at La Manga Club, Spain, for the 2018 Gala Ceremony, we here look at the biggest headlines f rom the golf hospitality sector this year It has been a thrilling year for golf around the world. In September, Team Europe successfully defended its home turf and won the 42nd Ryder Cup, 17-1/2 to 101/2 at Le Golf National. The victory was their sixth successive triumph on home soil. More than 270,000 spectators from 90 nations attended Ryder Cup activi-

12

ties, with more than half of ticket buyers originating outside France. It is hoped the tournament will, therefore, give golf a major boost in the country in coming years.

Paul Armitage, Le Golf National general manager, sees the Ryder Cup as the launching pad for promoting French golf

WWW.WORLDGOLFAWARDS.COM

courses to players worldwide, elevating France as a destination to rival Britain, Asia and the United States. “The Ryder Cup presents a tremendous opportunity for France to create a legacy of golf tourism. Golf affects the travel and leisure industry in a way that no other sport can claim. You do not travel to other countries to play their tennis courts or

football pitches, for example. The uniqueness of our game is that each golf course is written into the landscape of its home. This distinction creates a different, unique relationship between golf and tourism.”

Former world number one, and golf icon, Tiger Woods also did his bit to put the sport in the international spotlight, returning to winning ways on the PGA Tour by claiming the Tour Championship. Woods’ first victory on the tour since 2013, the triumph is set to give golf an increased profile moving into 2019.

On the hospitality side, industry figures suggest golf tourism globally has been growing at a rate of up to nine per cent annually over the past five years – with hundreds of thousands of new players taking holidays focused on the sport.

This, however, is expected to slow to around six per cent over the years to

2022. The reduction, though, will be due to demand exceeding supply in some of the most popular golf destinations during peak months, rather than any market downturn, therefore industry optimism looking ahead remains high.

Golf tourism generally is seeing growing popularity, particularly as a form of recreational break rather than a competitive one. Tour package vendors are coming up with offers such as individual lowprice or even zero-price overnight stays to attract customers. The launch of new low-cost airline routes will drive the growth prospects for the global golf tourism market in the forthcoming years. It has been observed that many customers increasingly prefer air travel as the mode of transportation because it simplifies the access to international travel and drives the market’s growth. Some of the major factors responsible for this growing pref-

erence include reduced time consumption and enhanced comfort level.

Asia-Pacific will occupy a growing market share of the golf tourism market in the coming years, especially in China.

This will be mirrored by the fast-growing India and south-east Asia regions. Here a growing middle class, with a disposable income to match, will look to travel further, and longer, in search of the perfect golfing break. North America, especially the United States, will still play an important role which cannot be ignored, while Europe will continue to provide the bedrock of the industry.

You’ll find luxury five-star facilities and lots of different leisure options, including golf, tennis, swimming, fitness, squash, paddle tennis, cricket, football, rugby, pitch & putt, crazy golf, road and mountain biking, jogging and walking routes.

The superbly comfortable 4-star serviced Panoramic Rooms or self-catering, townhouses and apartments at Las Lomas Village, very close to the Wellness Centre, are specially designed to offer you the convenience of self-catering or a convivial atmosphere for sports groups or groups of friends or family.

Nature lovers are sure to enjoy the neighbouring Calblanque Natural Park with its beautiful scenery, mountains, beaches, dunes and wide variety of plants, wildlife and birds – a real treat for ornithology enthusiasts.

La Manga Club also provides you the best environment for spending time together as a family, taking part in the many events and activities, making new friends at our junior academies, or enjoying some quality time with just the two of you while your children are having fun at the Junior Club.

golf at La Manga club

I

f you love golf and dream of playing on beautiful, top quality courses in an ideal, year-round climate, La Manga Club, in Murcia, Spain is the perfect golf destination.

With a choice of three superb, 18-hole championship courses, each with its own unique style and terrain, a Par 47 course and first-rate practice facilities, there is something to challenge you, whatever your age and whatever your level.

If you want to learn how to play golf or improve your skills, La Manga Club is just the right place as well.

Our golf academy provides group and private tuition of the highest standards for all levels, from complete beginners to the most experienced players, as well as special junior golf academy courses for children

and teens.

Over its 40 years of history, the resort has hosted many top-level international golf tournaments and tour qualifying schools including five Spanish Opens; the European Ladies Team Championship; Spanish PGA, Seniors’, Ladies’ and Junior Championships; Ladies European Tour Q-School; and the World Corporate Golf Challenge, as well as countless corporate, celebrity and charity golf events.

Whether you are fine-tuning your technique, organizing a golf clinic or simply coming to enjoy your favorite sport, La Manga Club offers a truly diverse and unique golfing experience. Look no further for your next golf holiday, golfing break or corporate golf event!

the la manga club courses Each of La Manga Club’s three 18-hole championship courses has been designed to offer you a unique challenge, playing over different terrain in varied but always beautiful and tranquil surroundings, all no more than a “short putt” from your accommodation. And if you want to work on your short game, the picturesque 18-hole Par 47 course is just the place.

south Course

18 holes, par 73 Designer: Robert D. Putman / Arnold Palmer

Originally designed by Robert Putman in 1971 and subsequently remodelled in 1992 by Arnold Palmer, La Manga Club's South Course was completely refurbished in 2004.

The Championship course at La Manga Club, the South, is probably one of the fairest tests of golf one can find. At 6,499 metres from the White Tees, whilst being accepted as a top-calibre championship course, also provides a thorough test both for the scratch player and right across the handicap range.

Located in the centre of the valley, with wide palm-fringed fairways and water hazards that come into play on 15 of the 18 holes, the South Course holds few hidden dangers.

north Course

18 holes, par 71 Designer: Robert D. Putman

An undulating championship course sprawling between palm trees, lakes and 'barrancas'. These natural storm gullies feature on all three golf courses and add an extra dimension to the game.

Slightly shorter than the South, with tighter fairways and larger greens, the North Course offers a different, yet no less challenging, round of golf. A feature of the greens, all built to USGA specification, is the amount of movement incorporated in them, none more so than the short Par 3, 2nd, which has three distinct plateaux - a great test of putting. Relying on precision rather than length, an added challenge is provided by the wide variety of water hazards and 'barrancas' that snake their way through the course.

west Course

18 holes, par 72 Designer: Dave Thomas

Set amid serene pine woodlands, the West Course's design closely follows the natural contours of the undulating land. Its distinct character makes it a good alternative to the other, more classical championship courses.

It is a deceiving course, with frequent changes in elevation with which to contend. The tight front nine demands accurate driving to avoid the 'barrancas' (natural storm gullies) while the back nine, up amongst the hills, is more open but nonetheless challenging.

You will find Ekerum Resort in the heart of Öland, between the blooming fields of orchids, the mile-long beaches and prehistoric sites. Öland, being an island, is the Mallorca of Scandinavia with an excellent climate that allows golf to be played in the sun all year round and is accessible by car crossing the scenic Öland bridge from mainland Sweden.

The two 18-hole courses are the most visited and appreciated in Scandinavia.

However, it is not only the golf that gives Ekerum its popularity. It also serves up a broad selection of activities and facilities,

such as restaurants, spa, boutique, ice cream café, pizzeria, paddle tennis, mtb, art gallery, running tracks and long beaches – Ekerum has it all!

With a vast selection of room types ranging from suites up to 80sq m to two-bedroom apartments, Ekerum is the perfect stay for a vacation. www.ekerum.com
