GOLF TOURISM
One
of the worlds most popular sports, golf, try it this time in Turkey...
Golf
tourism is especially important in the world and plays an important role
in the tourism sector. While the demand for new golf areas is growing
rapidly, climate and geographical location are also becoming very
important factors that has to be considered in meeting that demand.
In
that respect, Turkey comes up with unequalled assets.
Turkey is a country
where historical values can be administered without being spoilt. Thank to
the temperate climate prevailing in most parts of the country throughout
the year, great opportunities await the national and international golfers
and potential real-estate owners.
Another
attraction is of course the effect of the climate on Turkish people.
Always friendly, naive and sympathetic, they offer the traditional Turkish
hospitality and kindness to their visitors.
Looking
for new locations to play ? Why not try the lovely golf courses in the
Turkish Riviera or fascinating Istanbul this time...?
