El turismo de golf en Almería y su carácter desestacionalizador

Abstract

This article gives an analysis of golf tourism in Almeria. The research counted number of people playing on each golf course in the Province registering them by their respective countries of residence iover the period between May 2017 and April 2019. Analysis shows how golf tourism has grown and is no longer locked by seasonality, with European tourists travelling in Autumn and Winter with this as their motiva‑ tion.. This would seem to indicate that Almería could be be an all‑year round tourist resort. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Almeria as a golf destination shows that there is a need to promote the Province and put it on the map of golf tourism resorts in Europe.
