AGTC: How women-led initiative is turning golf into jobs and tourism opportunities

I am in the city that is east of Johannesburg, where the four-day Africa Golf Tourism Convention is bringing together players from the golf, tourism, hospitality, and business sectors.

That is an extract of a pledge by participants of the Caddie Ambassadors and Youth Development Programme at the inaugural Africa Golf Tourism Convention in the city of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng Province, South Africa For the participants, the pledge is a commitment to look beyond the golf course and recognise the economic opportunities that can emerge around the sport.

Ekurhuleni sees investment potential The City of Ekurhuleni has also backed the Africa Golf Tourism Convention, seeing it as an opportunity to showcase the city’s golf courses, infrastructure, hospitality industry, and investment potential.
