MARCH 2014
The Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona Golf Marketing Club was present in the villages of two European tournaments held in September for professionals of the sector. The Helsingborg Open of the Ladies European Tour took place from 5th to 8th September at the Vasatorps Golf Club in Sweden. This was followed by the men's KLM Open at the Kennemer Golf & Country Club in Zandvoort (North Holland) from 12th to 15th September.
The Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona Golf Marketing Club was present at both events to distribute information and offer advice to visitors on the destination’s golf courses, as well as on other golf-related and complementary services. Prize draws and promotions were also held to capture visitors’ interest.
Meanwhile, from 18th to 20th September, the Golf Marketing Club, together with the British public relations agency Landmark Media, organised a press trip for four journalists from the specialised media outlets Golfonline and Dansk Golf (Denmark), Golf & Spa Magazine (Bulgaria), Today’s Golfer and Ham & High Series (UK). The press trip included visits to establishments and golf courses that form part of the Golf Marketing Club in order for the journalists to see the facilities and make contact with the representatives of each company with a view to future collaboration.
