Popularity of golf increases across the world and golf trips interest travellers

The International Golf's 2020 Vision survey looked into global trends. It was published by HSBC, one of the world's biggest banking groups and sponsors of golf. Survey results show that the popularity of golf continues to grow, regardless of the world economy. The ratio of women to all golfers is increasing and women and men are playing together more than ever.

• Also, the survey results show that golf travel is a substantial part of all future travel, says Markku Nord, whose company Golfresepti was selected as Finland's best golf tour operator in 2014 (World Golf Awards 2014).
  
• From 2015 on, to guarantee a diverse offering and continued quality, we will combine forces with CWT Kaleva Travel on golf travel, Mr Nord continues.
  
• CWT Kaleva Travel as Finland’s biggest travel agency offers vacation destinations around the world. Their trips are produced by the best travel experts. Collaboration allows us to expand our range of destinations. It gives us a fantastic opportunity to develop new golf travel products. Two examples for 2015 include "Golf and Cooking Weeks" to Rome and "European Tour 2015 Collection" trips to go follow Mikko Ilonen and other top professionals, Mr Nord finishes.
  
• Golfresepti is a recognized and reputed travel trade professional. Their expertise is combining travel and golf. That's the prerequisite to organizing a successful golf trip, says Kai Paroma of CWT Kaleva Travel.
