The
International Association of Golf Tours Operators (IAGTO) has selected
the Algarve as the best golf destination of 2006, in front of other
regions such as California, Dubai or Andalucía (Spain).
According to the Algarve Tourism Region (RTA), the distinction
«Established Golf Destination of the Year 2006» was announced during
the IAGTO Award Gala Dinner at Las Palmas (Spain).
The award is decided based on criteria such as the
satisfaction of users, quality of the courses and accommodation,
professional assistance and support from local industries.
Golf yields about 350 million euros every year to the Algarve
and is now going to be promoted through a special campaign sponsored by
the RTA in international channels such as CNN and Eurosport and in
specific Portuguese sites.
