Phuket, Thailand: Laguna Golf Phuket will host the 2020 Phuket Hospitality Golf Challenge.

To be held on October 22, the event will feature hospitality and service industry professionals from Thailand and around the region. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Laguna Children’s First Fund.

Plantations International, in connection with Asean Events and Fore Management, will act as title sponsor of the event which will see teams battling for bragging rights as the best hospitality golfers in the region.

Set within the Laguna Phuket Resort, the redesigned Laguna Golf Phuket layout is a Facility member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“Plantations International sees this charity golf tournament as a great way to partner up with local events businesses in Thailand and give back to the community,” said a spokesperson for Plantations International.

“Being the only event of its kind, it is the ideal networking opportunity for local hoteliers, restaurateurs, landlords, club owners and others involved in the hospitality service industry to come together in a relaxed environment.”

Co-organisers Mark Cameron, of Asean Events, and FORE Management Group’s Chris Watson, said: “This year has been especially trying for many companies and individuals in Thailand and it is with great pleasure we have secured the title sponsorship of the event by such a well-established international company.

“Plantations International are a perfect partner for a golfing event with their agro-forestry business model background. As an end product of the event experience, raising funds for local children’s charities is a great way for them to give back to the community, which has struggled this past year.”
