El Rompido North. Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

The golf sector in Huelva, in Costa de la Luz, reported a 48.88% rise in overnight stays and a 31.29% increase in foreign travellers in February compared to the same month in 2022, confirming its deseasonalizing role.

The Huelva Golf Course Association, a member of the Tourism Business Circle, has favourably judged these data, released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which support the increase attached to promoting this sector, which is so essential for Huelva.

“A good scenario was in sight for this segment for this year as a result of the first contacts kept with international operators (European market)”, according to a statement. The scenario has been confirmed by the data obtained in the first months of 2023.

Initial expectations have been exceeded, according to January statistics showing a 72.96% increase in hotel accommodations and a 67.42% increase in foreign visitors.

From a financial standpoint, the industry is still having the same problems it did this time last year due to the “disproportionate” increase in production and operating costs that pretty much every activity is experiencing.

Thus, “we find ourselves with the only segment that actively and certainly complements the development of the tourist activity linked to the holiday segment, and is effective in terms of the fight against persistent seasonality that it suffers from”, the Association concluded after considering the available data.

Huelva is home to stunning golf courses like El Rompido North and South, often considered among the finest golf courses in the Costa de la Luz region.

Finca Cortesin appoints new ambassador

Finca Cortesin, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, has appointed Spanish professional and Ladies European Tour (LET) player Ana Peláez as its new ambassador to mark the approaching six-month countdown to the tournament.

The LET star further solidifies Finca Cortesin’s reputation as one of the top quality and lifestyle destinations in the world, while also demonstrating the resort’s dedication to supporting women’s sports.

A native of the Costa del Sol, Ana Peláez has stood out last year for her technical ability and her precision in the game, after having achieved victory at the Madrid Ladies Open in May 2022.

The 25-year-old Spaniard has high hopes of making Suzann Pettersen’s European team in September and is widely regarded as one of the country’s promising young players.

“It is an incredible opportunity to represent Finca Cortesin and have their unconditional support as I play week after week on the Ladies European Tour. Playing and training in the Solheim Cup 2023 venue is amazing and will boost my career”, said Peláez.

“The resort has a great track record of supporting local women and girls in the industry by providing them with the necessary conditions to succeed”, concluded.

“Finca Cortesin is delighted to welcome Ana Peláez as an ambassador. Having Ana as an ambassador for the resort will help us to consolidate our position as the venue for the Solheim Cup but also contributes to promoting golf among the new generation of Spanish golfers”, said Vicente Rubio, general director and president of Finca Cortesin.

“The resort is eager to collaborate with Ana to highlight the significance of Spain’s first-ever hosting of the Solheim Cup. We are dedicated to giving you all you need to fight for a place on the European squad in September of this year as the event’s host”, Rubio continued.

Palomarejos Golf will be the first Spanish stage of the Alps Tour 2023

The 22nd Alps Tour season will have three important tests being held in Spain: the Alps de Las Castillas, the Alps of Andalusia, and the Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, where the 5 players who will be able to play the Challenge Tour next year will be determined.

“We believe that the Alps Tour is a circuit in which you learn to compete and much more, to prepare, to manage, to travel, and so on, and the careers of these great players bear that up”, says Jaime Salaverri, president of the RFEG Professionals Committee.

The Alps de las Castillas, the first Spanish stop on the Alps Tour, will be held at Palomarejos Golf, in Talavera de la Reina.

“There have been excellent players who have gone on to succeed worldwide from the 11 years of partnership between the Castilla La Mancha and Castilla León Federations”, states the host president, Carlos Gutiérrez.

The Alps Tour will then head to Isla Canela Links in May to celebrate the Alps of Andalusia.

“The Royal Andalusian Golf Federation (RFAG) maintains its support for the Alps Tour not only to see the emergence of the great golf stars, but also to attract young players to the golf courses of Andalusia, where there is much more to do than golf and they like it”, said Pablo Mansilla, the president of the federation.

“After 12 years of backing the Alps Tour, the RFAG is happy with the outcomes”, concluded Pablo Mansilla.

The Fred. Olsen Alps of La Gomera at Tecina Golf, in the Canary Islands, is the third and final Spanish event.

“Our journey has witnessed the beginning of great players worldwide and we continue to bet on professional golf. Whoever wins at Tecina Golf is going to have a great career ahead of them”, says Cousins Pusnik, Fred. Olsen’s asset manager and director of Tecina Golf.

On April 19–22, Palomarejos Golf will host the Alps de Las Castillas, while on June 14–17, Isla Canela Links will host the Alps de Andalusia. Finally, on July 12–15, Tecina Golf will host the Alps of La Gomera. All of them will have the support of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation.
