According to IAGTO’s 2013 Golf Tourism Report, global golf holiday sales grew by an average of 9.3% compared to the previous year, and their member operators alone catered for 1.6 million golf travellers in 2012 generating an estimated €1.5 billion.
 
Whether a primary motivation for a holiday or simply a secondary activity, golf in the Spanish sunshine attracts millions of holidaymakers worldwide creating demand for accommodation.
 
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director for leading Spanish house builder Taylor Wimpey Espana comments, “Spain is one of the biggest golf destinations in the world; it’s certainly the most popular European golf location and anyone thinking of buying a golf property in Spain would definitely be making a wise move.
 
“The international golf tourism market is between 2.8 million and 5.6 million people and continues to grow. Spain alone is poised to attract a large percentage of these golf travellers in the years to come and despite recent turbulent times for the Spanish economy, the demand for golf properties is evidently strong. Here at Taylor Wimpey Espana we continue to sell out golf developments on mainland Spain very swiftly and can report a sales increase of 74% in comparison with last year, on the Balearic island of Mallorca, famed for its golf courses.”
 
Indeed, up to 10% of the 56 million people who play golf worldwide travel overseas each year for the main purpose of playing this hugely popular sport, hence sales of quality, affordable accommodation close to or on courses are increasing year on year. Taylor Wimpey Espana, based in the world’s most popular golf destination Spain has recorded an 8% increase in golf property sales over 2012.
