Mayor of City of Pattaya, Itthiphol Kunplome with Peter Walton, CEO of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.

Turkey (November 18): Pattaya, the popular Thailand resort that hosted this month’s Asia Pacific Golf Summit, has been named Golf Destination of the Year 2012 for Australasia and Asia.

The Mayor of the City of Pattaya, along with representatives from several of the region’s golf clubs, accepted their award in Turkey on the final night of the International Golf Travel Market. The nominees for 2012 included Malaysia, New Zealand, Vietnam plus Thailand’s Hua Hin, Pattaya and Phuket regions.

This prestigious award was voted for by more than 400 global tour operator members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). Previous winners included Malaysia and Thailand, but this is the first time that an actual region has won this award.

Spain, the United States and Thailand are currently the big three international golf destinations, with Turkey and Portugal among developing countries that are rapidly increasing their golf tourism sectors.

The Mayor of Pattaya City, Itthiphol Kunplome, accepting the award said: “Pattaya is already well known as a resort destination. However, I hope that by winning this award, it will help give the destination a higher profile, and through increased marketing budgets, elevate Pattaya as a top international golf destination.”

Peter Walton, President and Chief Executive of IGATO, said: “The main reasons why they won this award, were that our members found that Pattaya offered quality golf courses, good management, great service, value for money, and most importantly, that the local agents and tourist board were particularly supportive both to our members and, of course, their clients.”

Mike Mesommonta, spokesman for the Eastern Seaboard Golf Management Association added: “This award is a huge endorsement for all our members, who have worked very hard to create some top class golf courses in the region. Our courses attract thousands of foreign visitors and several major international tournaments every year, including the Thailand Open, the Pattaya Open and the Honda LPGA.

“We are lucky to be able to offer fine weather all year round, keeping our courses in perfect playing conditions 365 days every year, and perhaps are best secret weapon are the wonderful smiling caddies!”

Akaplol Sorasuchart, President of Thailand’s Convention & Exhibition Bureau, said: “Corporate golf is very important to encourage overseas business, and a major part of our strategy has been to sponsor several major golf tournaments here in Thailand. We have worked hard to develop the MICE industry here and it is a great honour that Pattaya has received this award.”

Pattaya – Asia’s #1 Golf holiday destination

New rates for 2011/12 are now available in the golf holidays section. We have managed to lower the prices slightly for our Pattaya packages to start at £419 for a 9 nights, 4 rounds silver package. This is based on the following:

• 4 rounds of golf at: Burapha, Phoenix, Eastern Star and Khao Kheow

He visited the National Golf Show which was held at the National Exhibition Centre from April 15^th to 17^th and completed his entry at the Thailand Golf Tours stand. Over 230 entrants tried to predict the winner’s score in the Singha Pattaya Open which took place at Burapha Golf Club from May 5^th to 8^th 2011. Dan correctly guessed that the competition would be won with a gross score of 268 (20 under) – carded by Thailand’s Prom Meesawat. There were 10 correct entries and Dan’s lucky number was drawn at a ceremony at the Tara Court, Pattaya on Wednesday 11^th May.
