Why the golf and travel business?

Tourism and leisure is a $3.7 Trillion per year global industry. Golf tourism and leisure represent a $50 Billion slice of the tourism pie. 17.3 million American golfers bought golf travel packages last year. One in eight American travelers—twelve (12%) percent—played golf while on a trip of 100 miles or more away from home last year Source: Travel Industry Association of America, Travel Poll. National Golf Foundation statistics indicate an average 11.7% of major metropolitan residents in cities across North America are active golfers. There are an estimated 27 million golfers in North America

Instead of selling our 5,000 GolfAhoy branded and co-branded golf travel packages through traditional bricks and mortar travel agency techniques, we focus on personal sales through our international network of GolfAhoy Golf Travel Bureau franchisees.
