IGTM

Oct 19 - 23, 2026
Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes
Cannes, France

The International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) is the premier annual gathering for the global golf-travel sector, bringing together destinations, resorts, courses, tour operators, travel agents, and media under one roof. 

Since its inception in 1998, IGTM has offered a unique platform for business growth, knowledge-sharing, networking and trend-spotting across the golf-tourism industry. 

What makes IGTM special

  • Pre-scheduled appointments: A central feature of IGTM is the matched meetings between golf-travel suppliers (destinations, resorts, courses) and qualified buyers (tour operators, travel agents)—giving structure and business focus to the event. 

  • Global reach & rotating locations: The event shifts to a new host destination each year, broadening exposure for delegates and enabling exploration of regional golf-travel markets. 

  • Industry insight & innovation: Alongside the business meetings, IGTM provides content around trends—such as sustainability in golf tourism, technology, luxury golf travel, and the evolving golfer experience. 

  • Networking & value creation: Attendees appreciate the opportunity to meet many relevant contacts in one place, grow their business, and stay informed. For many, IGTM is a "must-attend" on the golf-travel calendar.

Who attends

IGTM draws a mix of:

  • Leadership from golf destinations, resort operators, golf courses

  • Tour operators and travel agents specialising in golf tours/travel

  • Media covering golf, travel and lifestyle sectors

  • Suppliers of golf-travel experiences and associated hospitality services

The focus

The focus of IGTM is both commercial and strategic. Delegates seek to:

  • Source new golf-travel products and destinations for their clients

  • Build or strengthen partnerships in golf tourism

  • Gain exposure in golf travel media and elevate the profile of their offering

  • Stay abreast of market shifts in traveller expectations, sustainability, technology and service models in golf travel

Why the hospitality-tourism professional should care

If you work in hospitality, resort development, golf course destination marketing or travel services, IGTM offers:

  • A concentration of decision-makers and buyers in one global B2B forum

  • Insight into what tomorrow's golf-traveller wants—beyond the course itself (wellness, lifestyle, sustainability)

  • A chance to position your offering in a competitive international market of golf travel
