Florida’s Paradise Coast has been named 2014’s Golf Destination of the Year – North America.
The region, which covers Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades, received the accolade from the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO).
The region’s tourism executive director, Jack Wert, said: "To be named North America’s Golf Destination of the Year by the IAGTO membership is an enormous honour and serves to carry forward the positive recognition the destination received in 2013 as host of the IAGTO’s annual North America Convention.
"The greater Naples region is recognized by the National Golf Foundation as having the most holes per capita in the United States, and is often referred to as the Golf Capital of the World.
"This award further strengthens our ability to showcase worldwide all that Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades has to offer golfers and their families year-round."
