The development history of golf tourism

According to industry survey data in recent years, the number of golf enthusiasts in my country is increasing at a rate of 10% every year, and in first-tier cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing, the growth rate has even reached 25%. %above. In addition, there are also a large number of golf tourists from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao and other countries and regions who like to come to the mainland to play golf. It is roughly estimated that there are 300,000 to 500,000 tourists per year. The sharp increase in golfers has not only indirectly accelerated the golf real estate industry, but also directly accelerated the arrival of the golf tourism industry.

Since the Hainan Boao Forum, golf tourism has been specially proposed to be developed as an independent tourism industry. So far, the number of domestic golf courses has exceeded 500 (Sina Golf Channel has data of 482), and the number of 18-hole standard golf courses is growing rapidly, including 63 courses in Taiwan, 51 in Guangdong, and 38 courses in Beijing. There are 33 stadiums in Shandong, 21 stadiums in Hainan, and 16 stadiums in Liaoning. Large courses with more than 72 holes have also appeared. There are also three golf clubs with a total number of more than 100 holes, namely Nanshan International Golf Club, Mission Hills Golf Club, and Zilinshan International Golf Club (under construction). The courses of Nanshan and Mission Hills are mainly distributed in different places. area, Zilin Mountain is concentrated in the same area.
