RX (Reed Exhibitions), the organiser behind IGTM (International Golf Travel Market) has confirmed its initial programme for this year’s event, as well as a new venue.
Scheduled to take place from 17th – 20th October 2022, the host venue will be La Nuvola, one of the most iconic and visionary buildings in Rome.
In a statement released, David Todd, Event Manager of IGTM said: “In order to provide our attendees with the best possible event experience and environment to do business in, selecting the location and amenities is our priority. We have made the decision to choose La Nuvola based on its adaptability, location and modern facilities launching just six years ago. We are now confident La Nuvola will meet our event’s and all our attendees’ expectations.”
The global golf tourism market size is projected to reach US $14,570 million by 2027[1], and IGTM brings the industry together to build business further as international travel booms once again.
