The Covid pandemic has had many negative effects on tourism, but there are also some positive aspects. One of them is that some activities actually came out of this period stronger because they were hardly affected by the health protection measures. This includes golf, for example. Destinations such as Gran Canaria, which offers golf, benefited from this.
“Golf tourism is an important product for our destination because we have the ideal climate for it all year round,” explained the Canarian Minister of Tourism, Carlos Álamo. He also noted that in recent years there has been a significant increase in membership of associations across Europe.
The reason for this is the pandemic.
Golf was one of the first sports to be practiced again without restrictions because it takes place outdoors and with the distance between athletes”. In the 2021-2022 season, significantly more green fees were sold on Gran Canaria than before.
