"Golf is like a love affair.
If you don't take it seriously,
it's no fun; if you do
take it seriously,
it breaks your heart." --

Greek tourism industry: Can the development of Greece's golf industry benefit this essential industry?

Dissertation by Mr. Fotis Panagiotakopoulos, Cass Business School (2007)

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the tourism industry in Greece and how the development of a golf industry can facilitate further growth. In order to answer this question the researcher looked in depth at the Greek tourism industry and discussed different differentiation strategies with a key component being differentiation into the European golf market.

The economic benefits of an expansion of the golf industry were discussed as well as the current competitive nature of the market in Europe. Golf is a powerful industry as it attracts high spenders and spawns the development of ancillary tourism facilities. It is also an industry that has tremendous growth potential in South-East Europe due to the saturation of Western Mediterranean markets.
Due to the fact that golf is a new concept in Greece, there is very little golf awareness, while finding secondary research pertaining to the subject was quite difficult and therefore was mainly done through the World Wide Web. The author also found two very reliable sources of primary data in the Founder and Director of INVgolf, the leading independent boutique brokerage and specialist in the golf industry and leisure real estate sector.

The research undertaken by the author proved through an exploratory method, that the Greek tourism industry has lost some competitiveness due to increasing costs and must regain it through repositioning and differentiating its tourism product. This dissertation will show that golf is the ideal vehicle of differentiation and can reposition the industry in an elite area where price sensitivity will no longer dictate the trajectory of the industry.
