The 3rd IAGTO North America Golf Tourism Convention will take place at the Hyatt
Regency Monterey in Monterey County, California from 18-21 May 2011. More than 120
golf tour operators selling North America have already applied to attend the Convention
(places are likely to be limited to
100 buyer delegates).
Approximately 30% of the operators will be from the USA & Canada with the remainder
coming from more than 20 other countries. So if developing your domestic and international
visitor green fee revenue is important to your business, then this event is not
to be missed.

The Convention is open to North American suppliers and tourist boards eager to meet
with domestic and international golf tour operators selling North America. Ten hours
of workshop sessions will enable you to meet the majority of the operators on a
1-to-1 basis, and during the first session the operators will all be seated so that
you can meet everyone you want! This will be preceded by an IAGTO Briefing to ensure
you get the most out of your meetings, and seminars designed to give you an insight
into current golf tourism trends.
Our Convention dove-tails into the front-end of Pow Wow so that those of you travelling
to San Francisco can make the most of your visit to California.

I wanted to commend you for such an outstanding convention which has brought us many
new customers, friends, and more importantly new business. I can’t tell you have
many golf shows I have attended in my life, which were pretty much useless. But
your event was amazing, and by listening to your speech, you understand how important
it is that we meet quality golf tour operators and they meet us. You have us convinced to
be members of your elite organisation!!
