Singapore: Asian Tour Destinations has welcomed Golfasian as part of the exclusive network of golf clubs with direct ties to the Asian Tour.

Golfasian, a leading golf tour operator in Southeast Asia, joins at a time when Asian Tour Destinations boasts eight venues, representing the top-tier of golf clubs in Asia.

These include Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club, Laguna Golf Lăng Cô in Vietnam and Kota Permai Golf & Country Club and Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club, both in Malaysia. All are Facility Members of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“Golfasian is thrilled to join Asian Tour Destinations as we pride ourselves on working with the best golfing venues in Asia. This partnership will allow us to further raise awareness of our brand alongside exploring future opportunities with the Asian Tour,” said Mark Siegel, Managing Director, Golfasian Co Ltd, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“Our business is based on delivering a personalised golfing journey, combined with exploring the culture of the countries visited. Our management has over 49 years’ experience in the golfing, travel, and hospitality segments, so this is an exciting opportunity that will add an extra dimension to our level of commitment and service,” he added. 

Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO of the Asian Tour, also a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation, said: “The Asian Tour Destinations network continues to gain momentum, so this is an opportune time for Golfasian to join. We are delighted they have chosen to partner with our Asian Tour Destinations programme and we look forward to working with them collaboratively.

“The concept of Asian Tour Destinations is to help build the ideal eco-system for the golf course industry and related sectors in the region. We feel Golfasian is a perfect fit.”

In particular, Golfasian will be able to provide unique travel package offers to experience Asian Tour Destinations venue members, benefit from promotional opportunities across all of the Asian Tour Destinations multi-media platforms, and explore cross-promotional opportunities with current and future Asian Tour destinations partners.

Once circumstances permit, they’ll also be able to look into the potential for building golf and travel packages around the Asian Tour schedule.

Asian Tour Destinations was set up to provide an affiliate membership programme between the associated venues and the Asian Tour which will help grow the industry in the region.

Being part of the Asian Tour Destinations network means that each venue is certified Tour calibre and operates a comprehensive range of facilities and services to their members and guests under tournament-ready conditions all-year round.

Among the core benefits, Asian Tour members are able to play and practice at each venue, allowing for the members at each club to enjoy direct engagement with the region’s best golfers.

Along with Golfasian, Wall Street Journal+, a membership programme for subscribers of The Wall Street Journal, has become a partner.

Other clubs in the programme are Thailand’s Black Mountain Golf Club, Classic Golf & Country Club in India, and Sapporo Country Club and The North Country Golf Club, both in Japan.
