Trade group the International Association of Golf Tour Operators has announced the inaugural Japan Golf Tourism Convention (JGTC) for October 2018.
JGTC will be held in Mie Prefecture and the event will be ‘pivotal’ to developing a national golf tourism strategy for Japan.
This is especially true, IAGTO says, as golf is now back in the Olympics and Tokyo becomes host city for the Games two years later.
The first IAGTO sanctioned event of this kind follows a number of IAGTO inspections to Japan since 2010
Mie hosted the 42nd G7 Summit of World Leaders last year.
Next month’s Asia Golf Tourism Convention in Danag, Vietnam will feature a record number of 17 Japanese IAGTO member suppliers.
