The InterContinental Hotel Group has put their support behind the inaugural Fiji International golf tournament.
The InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa will be recognised as a Gold Sponsor and Official Resort of the Fiji International, which will tee off at Natadola Bay from August 14th to 17th.
The tournament is expected to be broadcast to over 400 million homes worldwide.
Head of Commercial for the Fiji International golf tournament, Matt Porm says the partnership will provide great opportunities for both parties.
Porm said the Fiji International is unique as it offers sponsors year round benefits, relevant well beyond the tournament week.
He said Golf tourism is an emerging market with over 20 percent growth in the last two years alone, and with further growth forecast for this year.
InterContinental Fiji's new General Manager, Erik Stuebe said the resort is looking forward to showcasing its hospitality to players and VIPs, including golfer Vijay Singh.
He said as the biggest sporting event Fiji has ever seen, the Fiji International will not only bolster Fiji's existing tourism industry, but shape the nation’s profile as a world class golfing destination.
