Sicily is set to benefit significantly from the growth of golf tourism, a media outlet has stated.
According to the Daily Telegraph reports, Picciolo course at the Palmerston Etna Resort was the only golf centre on the island till recently but now a second one has been opened near the cathedral town of Cefalu. Sicily has recently enjoyed significant investment in its golf infrastructure and plans to create few more golf courses including a 36-hole Gary Player resort is underway.
This is expected to trigger growth in the local property market, as tourism is likely to increase once the new golf facilities are available. Sicily is also a popular location for sailing. The 505 class World Sailing Championships will be held in Palermo, Sicily and 124 boats from 12 different countries will be in action this year. In addition, these sporting activities could make Sicily an appealing location for holiday home buyers who want to enjoy leisure pursuits while holidaying overseas.
Sicily region's infrastructure is being developed to cater specifically for golfing enthusiasts and locations close to major golf courses in Sicily could increase interest in their developments for overseas investors and holiday home buyers. A recent study by the KPMG Golf Advisory Practice revealed that the sale of property in the vicinity of golf courses produced more income than golf-related activities.
