10.53am 14th March 2025 - <a href="https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/travel/">Travel</a> <br>A ‘Who’s Who’ of international golf destinations will meet face-to-face with the world’s best golf tour operators this autumn as the second edition of <a href="https://elevategolf.net/">Elevate Golf</a> returns to St Andrews.<br>Four months on from the inaugural Elevate Golf event – which saw leading golf courses, accommodation providers and international tour operators connect for over 3,000 tailor-made appointments – the invite-only event continues to attract widespread demand across the industry.<br>Close to 180 suppliers – representing <strong>i</strong>nternational golf courses and resorts seeking to attract golfers looking for premium golf and hospitality experiences – have signed up for the 2025 renewal, gathering at the Fairmont St Andrews with a small group of international tour operators specifically invited to ensure all courses and hotels enjoy quality appointments.<br><br><br>Although suppliers were largely from the United Kingdom and Ireland at last year’s inaugural Elevate Golf event, a select few premium European venues were also present. This year’s event will, however, see a noticeable increase in attendees from the continent – including from Spain and Portugal – as more destinations recognise the growing importance of international golf tourism.<br>Elevate Golf 2025 will also welcome several venue’s from outside of Europe for the very first time. Many venues from the Middle East will be in attendance, while the international flavour of the event is further complemented with Caribbean destinations such as Albany Bahamas and Puntacana Resort & Club also in attendance. The growing list of destinations join the established bedrock of suppliers, including all the Open Championship rota courses.<br>Alex Shattuck, CEO of PerryGolf, commented: “Elevate is a tremendous event. Not only the quality of the content but also the quality of the attendees – it really is the who’s who in the world of golf and travel. We are in the relationship business and the opportunity to meet face-to-face is invaluable.”<br>Nuno Sepúlveda, Co-CEO of Details Hospitality Sports & Leisure, which manages several renowned golf courses in Portugal, said: “The meetings we have at Elevate are key. Elevate is different from other B2B and trade events with different clientele and for us this helps open up doors to the American and Canadian markets while also learning how the Scottish, Irish and UK market are so successful in this area. Having those meetings at St Andrews is also a wonderful experience.”<br>Held between October 26-31, Elevate Golf 2025 will begin with a two-night stay in Liverpool with suppliers and tour operators invited to sample the city’s culture and play golf on the wonderful Northwest coast. On arrival in Scotland, connecting on a round of golf at one of seven courses will be an option for attendees – golf will be available at Carnoustie Golf Links, Dumbarnie, North Berwick, Gullane, Royal Troon, Western Gailes or Prestwick – before the face-to-face business meetings begin on October 30. <br>Meetings will continue through until the afternoon of October 31, before a gala dinner celebrating global golf tourism is held.
