Bangkok, Thailand, June 10, 2021 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Golfasian, Asia\u2019s largest inbound tour operator, is utilising strength in diversity to take Thailand\u2019s golf industry to a higher level.<\/p>\n

The Bangkok-based company has acquired FORE Management Group, a respected organiser of golf events in Thailand. Its formidable track record includes the Thailand Open (an Asian Tour event), the World Corporate Golf Challenge, and the Thailand instalment of the Faldo Series: the only global amateur series for juniors.<\/p>\n

Golfasian has also forged a strategic partnership with FENIX XCell, one of the region\u2019s most creative names in golf apparel.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether the companies will create the strongest brands in the Asia golf industry, particularly related to golf travel, golf events, and golf apparel,\u201d commented Mark Siegel, the founder and chairman of Golfasian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new status will facilitate additional vertical integration and allow the companies to offer a broader range of products and services for golfers and international partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its founding in 2016, FORE Management Group has established itself as the go-to firm in Thailand for professionally run, fun golf tournaments \u2014 organising over 70 events per year.<\/p>\n

Its acquisition will allow Golfasian to utilise its logistic expertise at a packed roster of events including corporate days, charity tournaments, and open events for domestic and visiting golfers at some of Thailand\u2019s most premium clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFORE Management Group is delighted to become the event arm of Golfasian,\u201d said Chris Watson, the co-founder of FORE Management Group who will now become Chief Commercial Officer at Golfasian.<\/p>\n

\u201cGolfasian already has an exemplary reputation worldwide thanks to its status as the region\u2019s biggest tour operator. The new arrangement strengthens its position domestically and provides numerous synergies. It\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pandemic has been devastating for the golf tourism industry in Thailand. But while most companies are in survival mode, Golfasian is utilizing strength in numbers to ensure that it emerges intact AND enhanced from the global crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that we are the strongest Thailand-originated brands in the industry,\u201d says Michael Moir, the founder of FENIX XCell. \u201cThese have been very uncertain times, but by joining together we can show potential partners that we offer foresight, vision, and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golfasian has helped cement Thailand\u2019s reputation as a must-visit destination for golf since its establishment back in 1997.<\/p>\n

Utilizing expert knowledge of the game and the region itself, it prides itself on being the first choice for golfers embarking on a dream vacation to the Kingdom and other thrilling golf destinations in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

With international travel severely restricted, clubs have been forced to rely on domestic clients since early 2020.<\/p>\n

But with Thailand\u2019s government proceeding with a mass vaccination program for its population, there\u2019s growing confidence that international visitors will be able to return to the Kingdom\u2019s fairways sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, Golfasian believes that diversifying its services can help Thailand build momentum with a domestic audience and also swiftly regain its status as a bucket-list destination for golf travelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThailand\u2019s reputation as a golf destination was as bright as it has ever been before the pandemic,\u201d said Boyd Barker, Golfasian Chief Operating Officer. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to showcase the country to visiting golfers again while growing the domestic golf market through compelling events.\u201d<\/p>\n
