From May 18 to 21, Empire of Golf was present in Málaga during the IAGTO Fair, one of the most important international gatherings for the golf tourism sector. The event brought together hundreds of professionals from around the world, including specialized tour operators, resorts, tourist destinations, and some of Europe's most prestigious golf courses.
Over four days, Málaga became the epicenter of the international golf industry, once again cementing Spain's position as one of the premier reference destinations for golf enthusiasts.
A Meeting Point for the Main Players in the Sector
Empire of Golf's presence at this event made it possible to hold meetings with numerous golf courses, hotel chains, and companies linked to sports tourism. The fair offered an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, forge new strategic alliances, and get a first-hand look at the trends that will shape the future of golf tourism in the coming years.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of this edition was the broad representation of both national and international golf courses. Virtually all the major industry leaders were present, making the event an ideal platform for exchanging experiences, exploring collaboration opportunities, and continuing to promote top-tier golf destinations.
Málaga, International Golf Capital
Málaga's selection as the host city for the fair was no coincidence. The Costa del Sol continues to be one of the most sought-after destinations for golfers across Europe, thanks to its privileged climate, its wide range of courses, and the quality of its tourism infrastructure.
The hosting of the IAGTO in the city once again highlighted the enormous potential of Andalusia and Spain as world-class references in golf tourism, attracting professionals from key markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, France, and the United States.
Opportunities for Continued Growth
For Empire of Golf, participating in the IAGTO Fair represents another step forward in its international growth strategy and its consolidation as a reference in the organization of golf experiences and trips.
The meetings held during the event will help to expand the network of collaborators, incorporate new destinations into the current offering, and continue providing clients with exclusive experiences at some of the world's finest golf courses.
Furthermore, these types of gatherings allow for a close understanding of the needs of international golfers and the continuous adaptation of services to meet the evolving demands of the market.
Looking to the Future
The 2026 edition of the IAGTO Fair has once again demonstrated the strength of the sector and the constant growth that golf tourism continues to experience at a global level.
From Empire of Golf, we would like to thank all the professionals, golf courses, hotels, and collaborators we had the opportunity to meet with during these days in Málaga. We will continue working to create new opportunities, strengthen relationships, and bring our clients the best golf experiences in unique destinations.
