How have you seen the Indian golfing scene evolve over the years, and what role has the IGTA played in that evolution?
Over the years, I have seen a tremendous evolution in the Indian golfing scene. It's becoming popular with all age groups. However, other countries such as Thailand and Malaysia are still ahead of us when it comes to attracting golfers from around the world. That's why we brainstorm with the Ministry of Tourism to help them understand the importance of golf tourism and its potential in India. The result was the formation of a Golf Tourism Policy, and we established the India Golf Tourism Association to take the initiative further.
With the support of the Ministry of Tourism, State Tourism Boards, and Chambers FICCI and PHD Chamber, we organized tourism conclaves that brought together golf tour operators from around the world to interact with Indian golf tour operators, golf courses, and golf-friendly hotels. Our aim is to promote India as a top golfing destination and tap into the potential of golf tourism in the country.
What are some of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with promoting golf tourism in India, compared to other countries?
