Tulum continues establishing itself as a prime destination for golf tourism, thanks to a recent media activation at the Tulum International Airport, also known as the “Airport of the Jungle.” This promotional effort aligns with National Golf Lovers’ Day, celebrated every October, highlighting Tulum’s growing influence in the sports tourism industry.
On Friday, October 18, the airport will host a series of recreational activities aimed at golf enthusiasts and curious travelers of all ages. These interactive experiences, organized by the professional team at PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club, are designed to engage passengers and introduce them to the world of golf. Located at the Tulum Country Club, the PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club has been recognized as one of the top golf courses in Mexico by the prestigious World Travel Awards.
Golf Tourism Boosted by Tulum International Airport
Sergio González, Deputy Director of Golf at PGA Riviera Maya, shared his enthusiasm for the opportunities that the newly opened international airport brings to the region:
“Having a world-class airport in Tulum allows us to offer an unparalleled golfing experience to our visitors. This privileged access attracts players from the United States and Mexico and across Latin America and Europe, positioning Tulum as a leading destination for sports tourism.”
This collaboration between the Tulum International Airport, the PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club, and promotional efforts under the “Visit Tulum” brand—endorsed by the Tulum City Council—has been key in driving the region’s golf tourism. The synergy increases the flow of visitors and enhances Tulum’s visibility at international tourism fairs and through digital marketing campaigns.
A Growing Hub for Diverse Tourism Experiences
Tulum is diversifying its offerings by promoting golf as a central part of its tourism appeal, making it a versatile destination beyond the traditional beach vacation. Combining world-class sports facilities, such as the PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club, with family-friendly vacation options further strengthens Tulum’s reputation as an attractive destination for all travelers.
As Tulum continues to expand its tourism portfolio, it remains committed to creating unique and engaging experiences for both seasoned golfers and newcomers to the sport, positioning itself as a key player in Mexico’s tourism landscape.
With its growing infrastructure and strategic partnerships, Tulum is attracting more sports enthusiasts and becoming a go-to destination for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and world-class sporting activities.
This exciting development solidifies Tulum’s place on the map as a golf tourism hotspot, with initiatives like the PGA Riviera Maya driving the region’s continued growth.
