Malaysia Golf Tourism Association Seeks To Expand Membership
“Furthermore, membership of MGTA
means automatic membership of
the IAGTO, which has a membership
of 1,948 consisting of golf tour
operators, golf resorts, hotels, golf
courses, airlines, tourist boards and
other golf travel-related bodies in
89 countries. That creates immense
networking opportunities and
opens up avenues to build business
relationships with hundreds of golf
tourism buyers worldwide.”

Golf Vacations, had served as the
pro-tem President of the MGTA since
its formation in March 2011 and will
continue to lead the association for

seven companies were elected to the
council – Genting Malaysia Berhad,
