With Golf tourism constituting a vital segment of the
global travel & tourism marketplace, the success of
World Golf Awards over the past five years has created
much excitement within golf tourism, ensuring year-on-
year growth. The worldwide voting opens for over 6
months from February to September with voting made
up by professionals working within the golf travel and
tourism industry – senior executives, tour operators,
agents and media professionals. Votes may also be cast
by the public (golf tourism consumers). Voting works on
a ‘first-past-the-post’ system to ensure impartiality and
independence. Votes are submitted online via the World
Golf Awards website. The winners of each national
award go head-to-head with the winners of the other
countries before the unveiling of the World winners.
The prestigious accolades are awarded throughout the
Gala Ceremony and presented by Steve Rider and Ela
Clark, with some show stopping performances to set the
tone to a great evening.
