Have one to one pre-arranged meetings with the largest leading wholesalers, representatives from online agencies involved in the golf tourism sector, specialist golf tour operators and much more. You can be sure that your time won't be wasted as all buyers are screened and only decision makers with direct purchasing authority are invited to IGTM. The costs for exhibiting are kept to a minimum and if you are an IAGTO member, you receive 25% discount on registration for exhibiting personnel and 25% saving on stand costs. The buyers attending the IGTM would get the best out of the IGTM event as well. Apart from meeting with over 400 golf courses, resorts, hotels and tourist boards, IAGTO buyers will receive 4 nights complimentary accommodation for starters, at one of the official hotels for the show as well as free & exclusive access to the IGTM golf tournament. Something for both buyers and exhibitors is the Event Schedule Diary. All pre-scheduled appointments are buyer-driven and buyers get to book their appointments and view individual diaries online. All buyers are committed to attend all 37 diary appointments over the three days of the event and all exhibitors must be available for all diary appointment sessions, making the necessary arrangements to re-schedule where they are not available.
