Bukit Beruntung [SELANGOR]: Tourism Selangor began promoting the state of Selangor as the leading hub for golf events in Malaysia in 2014, with some of the notable events being supported, including the Selangor Masters, the Professional Golf of Malaysia (PGM) ADT Maybank Championship, Selangor Amateur Open, and Selangor Golf Classic.
Critical to the golf ecosystem, golf events and tournaments provide a time-specific reason to drive golf tourists to the state, benefiting golf operators; retail, accommodation, hospitality, and transportation providers. The buzz created from golf tourism events also helps promote nearby tourism attractions.
The penetration of golf tourism in Selangor improves the living standard of its residents, leads to the enhancement of golf facilities across the state, and increases public interest in golf, making Selangor the preferred golf destination in Malaysia.
On its own, Tourism Selangor stages its annual corporate golf day – with the third edition of the championship set for December 12 at Bukit Beruntung Golf & Country Resort.
The one-day event is expected to feature a bumper field comprising state leaders, representatives from state government-linked companies, captains of industries, golf tourism players, celebrity golfers, golf enthusiasts, and members of the media.
The tournament has proven a significant success, with participants strengthening existing relationships and expanding their networking in a competitive yet enjoyable setting.
“Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Tourism Selangor is proud to stage the Tourism Selangor Golf Tournament once again in 2021. Golf has emerged as one of the fastest-growing tourism trends, and Tourism Selangor has done our part with its various initiatives to help reset the golf tourism sector,” said Tourism Selangor chief executive officer Azrul Shah Mohamad during a press conference on November 2.
“I believe the third edition of this tournament will be an excellent occasion to foster friendship and camaraderie between the various stakeholders from the government, private sector, and the tourism industry,” he added.
The third Tourism Selangor Golf Tournament 2021 is proudly presented with the kind support of MBI Selangor, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Tourism Malaysia, Selangor State Development Corporation, Malaysian Golf Association, Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation, Westport Malaysia Bhd, Northport Malaysia Bhd, Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd, KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd, Srixon, Titoni of Switzerland, Liquid Marketing Sdn Bhd, Farm in the City, Puas Snack Pack, and Liberty Golf Services.
