2013-04-18 — /travelprnews.com/ — Tourism Australia believes the dramatic US Masters victory by ‘Tourism Australia’ tourism ambassador Adam Scott will act as a fillip to the promotion of Australian golf tourism on the international stage.
Tourism Australia Managing Director Andrew McEvoy said that Scott’s Masters win was not only an incredible personal achievement, but had the potential to help position Australia as one of the world’s leading golf tourism destinations.
“As a ‘Friend of Australia’, Adam Scott has long been a passionate advocate for golf tourism to our country. Like the rest of Australia, we were delighted to see him hold his nerve so impressively in the play-off.
“With such great advocates as Adam Scott, and helped by our recent partnership with the Great Golf Courses of Australia, we’re well positioned to take advantage of the lucrative global golf tourism market – internationally savvy golf enthusiasts seeking world class experiences. And with six of the world’s top 100 golf course, Australia is primed to welcome them,” said Mr McEvoy.
Boasting a rich golf heritage, Australia’s collection of spectacular golf tracks include works by acclaimed golf architects Dr. Alister McKenzie, Tom Doak, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.
The partnership with Great Golf Courses of Australia showcases and, for the first time, provides international access to Australia’s greatest courses and private clubs, including the six courses featured by US Golf Magazine in its ‘Top 100’ courses of the world: Barnbougle Dunes, Barnbougle Lost Farm, Kingston Heath, New South Wales, Royal Melbourne and Royal Adelaide.
Tourism Australia’s ‘Friends of Australia’ program is a network of influential people who advocate Australia and Australian tourism at home and overseas. Scott hopes his Masters victory will help inspire more international visitors to travel Down Under and build golf experiences into their holiday itinerary.
