The accolades were the final tranche of 2025’s three-part Golf Tourism Awards organised by IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators) and were revealed at its 16th annual North America Convention, in Birmingham, Alabama, which was attended by more than 300 delegates from around the world.
