IAGTO Awards in association with Hertz

The IAGTO Awards in association with Hertz are the official annual awards for the golf tourism industry. The 2008 gala Awards evening took place on Thursday 6 December 2007 at the Gran Melia Cancun, Mexico during the International Golf Travel Market in December.

"The annual golf holiday is the highlight of the golfing year for many of the world's 50 million players, and the IAGTO Awards serve to reward a few exceptional contributions to this world of golf travel. There is certainly no shortage of candidates worthy of recognition. Many individuals, companies, organisations and destinations have excelled in delivering a great golfing experience to the golf traveller - the ultimate goal for all involved in golf tourism.

The Awards serve also to encourage private and public sector organisations to work closely together in the development and promotion of new and existing golf destinations, making them accessible to and enjoyable by the widest range of golfers. Each year we recognise the performance of three of the world’s leading Golf Resorts, the flagships of our industry, and the ceremony culminates in the presentation of our Honorary Award in tribute to the achievements of one extraordinary individual. The 8th annual Awards will be a truly spectacular event thanks to our hosts in Cancun, their sponsors and to the enormous support we receive from Hertz.". Peter Walton - IAGTO Chief Executive
