Thailand is a dream destination for golfers from all across the world. Its 250 top-quality golf courses ideally located throughout the country, having world-class golfing facilities, reasonable green fees, friendly caddies and many other attractions continue to attract golfers to visit the country.
In its continuous endeavour to keep track of the latest trends and mindset of the golfers, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Sports and Leisure Worldwide (SLW) conducted the second survey on ‘Golfing in Thailand’ among Indian Golfers.
The survey resulted in some important facts coming to the fore. Most golfers, a whopping 97 per cent, rated Thailand as one of the best golfing destinations. Thai hospitality followed by value for money and affordable luxury were the top three key factors for attracting golfers. Thailand’s proximity to India was another key element in influencing the Indians in choosing the country as the premier destination for golf holidays.
A majority of golfers, almost 68 per cent vaccinated and 26 per cent who have taken their first dose, were willing to travel to Thailand.
Vachirachai Sirisumpan, Director TAT, New Delhi, said, “Thailand wins hands down when it comes to catering to the demanding golfers who are spoiled for choice when it comes to golfing destinations.”
To bring value to this offering, SLW in partnership with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, New Delhi, launched the first-ever loyalty programme for the country. The Thai Golf Passport has been launched in India to offer Indian golfers a seamless golf experience in Thailand. Indian golfers can now be a part of this rewarding loyalty programme whenever they tee off in Thailand and redeem their points for products from more than two hundred leading brands.
