The Mission Hills Golf Club has been doing very well both in Shenzhen and Haikou, Hainan Island.self storage It recently invited star golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to stage a match at the Haikou course. Visitors are the main clientele of the Haikou resort as Hainan is a tourist area, and its ambience is very different from business- oriented Guangdong. I hear the golf club will arrange frequent visits by celebrities to promote its resorts, and many well-known golfers in Hong Kong will be invited to Haikou next year. Picturesque and rich in sea produce, Hainan has favorable natural conditions to develop golf tourism, but pundits say Hong Kong is no less endowed to do the same. This suggestion is counter-intuitive, as Hong Kong is densely populated and small with even fewer golf courses than Singapore. The number of golfing venues will further diminish if the Fan Ling course is closed. How,迷你倉 then, can the SAR develop golfing tourism? The idea is to leverage on golf courses in neighboring areas, many of which are of high standards. Golf enthusiasts say there are no fewer than 100 courses in the Pearl River Delta area within a 90-minute drive from Hong Kong. Local travel agencies are already operating golfing trips, and many families are joining. Participants play golf at the mainland clubs and return to Hong Kong the same day to dine and shop in the evening. This means there is something interesting to do for each member of the family. Golf courses in other countries are usually at least a two-hour drive from either the airport or the city center. Hong Kong's proximity to such a large number of mainland golf courses provides choices for customers, and this is an opportunity for our travel agencies to develop a new line of business.
