This Thursday marked the end of the 19th edition of the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM), the world's leading trade fair for golf tourism professionals. The event, held this year in Mallorca at Son Termens (Bunyola), attracted approximately 1,200 participants.

The event was attended by suppliers, buyers, visitors, journalists, and other industry professionals. It was organized by the Balearic Islands Tourism Agency (ATB) in collaboration with Turespaña.

The 2016 edition of IGTM featured 55 countries and a record number of buyers, with more than 400 registered, some of them from markets as far away as the United States, China or Brazil.

The event figures reflect the presence of more than 500 exhibitors, including golf clubs, hotels, tour operators, travel agents, and booking portals.
