Who: Members of Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA) – destinations, suppliers, sport organizations and events rights holders.
What: The event starts off with a roundtable symposium on sport tourism trending topics and then it leads into an indoor golf tournament and social (but with very little actual golf). Then, the 19th hole after-party features drinks and more socializing. It’s all the things you love about golf without the hassle of dragging around your clubs or searching for a lost ball in the rough.
When: November 29, 2018 | Infinity Convention Centre, Ottawa
