"I have been to a lot of golf shows over the years and this has been one of the best. Here we are meeting qualified operators that send us business – and we have two groups so far from the IAGTO North America Convention. It is a very powerful event for us."

Patty Donovan, Dir. Travel Industry Sales, La Quinta Resort & Club, CA

"Attending the IAGTO North America Convention has been very worthwhile. It was mutually beneficial for the suppliers and the buyers. Being able to see these tour operators face to face is important and attending the IAGTO Convention is the best way to do that."

Suzanne Shalaby, National Sales Manager, Pebble Beach Resorts, CA

"This is the first IAGTO North America Convention I have been to and it was excellent! This has got really good people here and I have paid for my trip from the business I have done. The networking is fantastic –that’s how you build the business."

Jeff Neal, Golf Dir., Punta Cana Resort & Golf Club, Dom. Rep.

"I thought the 2011 NA Conference was great and you guys do a great job. If all things are the same next year I probably won’t go to Pow Wow just the NA Convention."

Chris Berry, Dir. Sales, PGA National Resort, FL

"This has been an eye-opener for me, especially as it gives me the chance to meet all people I need to see. Hopefully we will see a lot of business coming down to Mexico as a result and a few more doors have definitely opened up for us!"

Benny Campos, Gen. Manager, Cozumel Country Club, Mexico

"Congratulations on another informative, well-organized and fun event! Obviously, there is enormous potential in North America regarding golf operators and suppliers, and IAGTO is the perfect vehicle to help us capitalize on that potential."

Jim Watts, Classic Golf Tours

"It was a pleasure meeting you last week and participating in my first IAGTO program. The event served our property very well, was organized in a professional manner and well worth our time and expense. Please pass along my gratitude to your staff on a job well done."

Gary Orfield, Westin Mission Hills, CA

"It has been really wonderful event and is extremely well organised. It has given us the chance to speak to every buyer and we have definitely done group business as a result including six solid leads ready to book."

Janice Edwards-Diaz, Dir. Leisure Sales, Reunion Resort and Club, FL

It has been very eye-opening for us as first-time attendees to see how far reaching this event is. The benefit of the IAGTO Convention is the face-to-face contact you make with individuals who put trips together. We plan to do it again next year!

Mark Lavin, Dir. Golf, Carmel Valley Ranch, CA

"I wanted to commend you for such an outstanding convention which has brought us many new customers, friends, and more importantly new business. I can’t tell you how many golf shows I have attended in my life, which were pretty much useless. But your event was amazing, and by listening to your speech, you understand how important it is that we meet quality golf tour operators and they meet us. You have us convinced to be members of your elite organization!!"

Dan Conklin, Dir. Sales, Mauna Kea Resort, Hawaii

"I've received quite a few requests for quotes already as a result of my IAGTO membership and attending the 2011 North America Conference in Monterey."

Kelly Flores, Glade Springs Resort, WV

"What a great conference! I think that it will be only a matter of time before the North American conference becomes a major event on the schedule for destinations and suppliers."

Claudio DeMarchi, Mississippi Tourism Representative

"Thank you for organizing the recently completed North American Chapter Conference. Carolyn and I were very pleased with the contacts we made and the quality and diversity of the sellers who were represented at the meet-and-greet sessions."

Mark Rosenberg, Golf Packages of the Carolina’s

"Just a word to thank you for all of your support! For your information, we have just received the second lead after the IAGTO North America Convention and it certainly is thanks for all the good word you put out for us. Again thanks for all your help."

Paulo Machado, Doral Golf Resort & Spa, FL
