Golf Tourism represents the largest sports-related travel market in the World. There are over 50 million golf tourists travelling around the world enjoying their golf vacations on some of the finest golf courses in the world. According to a survey by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Thailand with its 260 golf courses, is now one of the top golf vacation destinations in Asia.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) recently held a survey with over 3,389 tourists from 68 countries participating, and naturally its beaches and islands are the biggest draw, with golf also proving very popular.

The Golf Travel industry is always looking to find new courses to feature, and Thailand is perhaps one of the few countries in the World, where rather than closing down clubs, they are actually opening new golf courses, to cope with demand.

The media are now discovering this region, and recently a group of Australian journalists flew into Thailand to visit one of the newer destinations attracting golfers, namely Kaho Yai.
