Brand USA partners with Your Golf Travel

2012-09-27 — /travelprnews.com/ — Brand USA, the new tourism marketing body for the United States of America, has announced a Ryder Cup campaign in conjunction with Your Golf Travel, the largest golf tour operator in Europe.

A bespoke 32-page Destination USA supplement dedicated solely to the promotion of the leading golf travel destinations in the United States, making full use of engaging editorial, mind blowing photography and a wealth of exclusive Your Golf Travel special deals.

The publications will be issued directly to Your Golf Travel’s premium level clients, as well as being inserted into four key golfing publications – Todays’ Golfer, Golf World, Golf Monthly and Golf International – reaching a total readership of more than 1.5 million. A digital version will also be emailed directly to 350,000+ golfers.

All activity will take place in September to tie in with the Ryder Cup, which will be held in Medinah (near Chicago), Illinois, from 25-30 September 2012.

By highlighting the variety of golfing experiences and destinations, Brand USA intends to promote the United States of America as the world’s leading golf tourism destination for UK and Irish visitors.

Jay Gray, Vice President of Business Development, Brand USA, said: “With such a prolific event as the Ryder Cup taking place in the USA this month, we wanted to work with a specialist company in the UK to focus on the assortment of golf courses and holiday experiences that are available.”

Euan Gillon, Head of Product Marketing and Strategy, Your Golf Travel, added: “The Ryder Cup is so special – it’s a time when unparalleled public and media attention is focused on golf so it’s the ideal moment to drive home our message about golf holidays in the United States of America.

“This initiative and the support from Brand USA allow us to bang the drum louder than ever for our Stateside offerings. It really is the ultimate destination, with greater diversity and quality than any other.”
