The Federación Canaria de Golf has shared some exciting news in the latest report by IE University: last year, golf tourists spent over one billion euros across the islands! Golf has truly become a powerhouse for both economic growth and tourism in the region, attracting more and more visitors who choose the Canary Islands as their go-to golf destination.

According to the report, the Canary Islands now represent 18% of Spain’s total golf tourism spending, with local golf courses making up 12% of the national revenue. What’s even more impressive is that golf tourists spend an average of €4,189 per year—much more than regular tourists. This has helped boost longer stays, increased spending, and reduced the seasonal dips in tourism that many destinations experience.

Pablo Llinares, Managing Director of Gran Canaria Tourism, emphasised golf’s important role in the island’s tourism. He said, “The work being done by the Federación Canaria de Golf and the Real Federación Española de Golf proves that golf and tourism are a winning combination.” This collaboration has helped make the Canary Islands one of Spain’s top golf destinations.

Looking ahead, Gran Canaria will take centre stage as it hosts IAGTO’s third annual European Convention (IEC) from May 19-21, 2025. The event is already generating buzz, with 70% of the spots filled.
