Portugal has been named the World’s Best Golf Destination at the 13th edition of the World Golf Awards, held in Cairo, Egypt. The country also received 16 other awards, further strengthening its international standing in this tourism segment.
With 98 golf courses spread across the country’s seven tourism regions, Portugal offers a diverse range of sporting and hotel facilities, complemented by the hospitality for which the destination is renowned. This offer contributes to the country’s appeal among major international markets.
The recognition highlights the strategic importance of golf to Portugal’s tourism sector. Golf helps diversify the country’s tourism offer, enhance destination quality and promote tourism throughout the year and across the country.
Sustainability is also an important factor in improving the quality of Portugal’s golf offer. Golf courses across the country have increasingly adopted responsible practices, particularly in the efficient management of water and energy, waste reduction and the sustainable use of natural resources.
The full list of winners of the 13th edition of the World Golf Awards is available on the official awards website.
The World Golf Awards recognise excellence in golf tourism each year through a vote involving industry professionals, media representatives and consumers from around the world.
