The German golf tourist<\/strong><\/p>\n

German tourists are the main clients, by both numbers and the amount they spend. Their profile is that of a tourist who is interested in golf, has high spending power, demands quality services and is seeking other attractions in addition to golf.
\nThe average age of the German golf tourist is 58 and they have a handicap of 20. Seventy-nine per cent are looking for four-star hotels and resorts, as a minimum, with courses nearby.
\nSixty per cent choose destinations with direct flights. Mallorca, the Canary Isles and the Costa del Sol (M\u00e1laga) are the preferred destinations. The German golfer travels an average of 21 days a year, spending an average of \u20ac1,300 a week. <\/p>\n

Golf in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

The German Golf Association has 640,000 members, a total that has risen by 3,000 in just the last year and by 32 per cent over the past 10 years. By sex, 60 per cent are men and the rest women, with one-third 60 years or over. This point is significant in that there has been an increase in the number of young golfers.
\nIn addition, Spain is the first country outside their own to where German tourists seeking this kind of experience travel.<\/p>\n
