Barcelona, June 2025
– Following a successful debut in 2024,
Barcelona Golf Destination is proud to announce its return to the
16th edition of the IAGTO North American Golf Tourism Convention (NAC), held this year at the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel, Alabama.
This marks the second consecutive year of participation for Barcelona Golf Destination, a collective of elite golf clubs from the province of Barcelona, reaffirming its commitment to positioning the region as a world-class golf destination for the North American market.
Backed by the Diputación de Barcelona Tourist Board and in collaboration with Barcelonagolf.com, this year’s presence will focus on strengthening relationships with industry professionals and showcasing the unmatched golf and lifestyle offerings Barcelona brings to international travelers.
“Our return to the NAC reflects the enthusiastic response we received last year,” said Marcello Della Vecchia, President of Barcelona Golf Destination. “We’re excited to further promote the incredible golf experiences that Barcelona offers—where top-tier design, Mediterranean scenery, and cultural richness come together.”
Barcelona Golf Destination is composed of five premier golf courses:
From playing seaside rounds along the Mediterranean at Llavaneras to championship layouts near Montserrat, the region offers diverse playing environments, many of which have hosted multiple European Tour events. These private clubs open to visitors pair exceptional golf with modern clubhouse facilities and a strong sense of local heritage.
“Barcelona is more than just a golf destination—it’s a gateway to authentic Catalan culture, gastronomy, and leisure,” added Ian Denham, Director of Barcelonagolf.com. “Our updated packages for 2025 and 2026 include curated stays in central hotels, private winery visits, and insider cultural tours, crafted to appeal to the discerning American and Canadian traveler.”
With direct flight connections from major North American cities like New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Miami, the region continues to be a convenient and compelling destination for golf travel.
During the three-day convention, the Barcelona delegation will engage with golf tour operators, travel planners, and industry leaders to foster new partnerships and collaborative opportunities that spotlight both golf and the wider tourism offerings of Costa Barcelona.
This renewed participation is part of a long-term strategy to elevate Barcelona’s profile on the international golf tourism stage, reinforcing its reputation as a destination where sport, culture, and Mediterranean lifestyle converge.
