“Spain is one of the biggest golf destinations in the world; it’s certainly the most popular European golf location and anyone thinking of buying a golf property in Spain would definitely be making a wise move.
“The international golf tourism market is between 2.8 million and 5.6 million people and continues to grow. Spain alone is poised to attract a large percentage of these golf travellers in the years to come and despite recent turbulent times for the Spanish economy, the demand for golf properties is evidently strong. Here at Taylor Wimpey España we continue to sell out golf developments on mainland Spain very swiftly and can report a sales increase of 74% in comparison with last year, on the Balearic island of Mallorca, famed for its golf courses.”
