Golf is played by millions of enthusiasts around the world and players come from all over the world. What unites them is high purchasing power, says Eddy Martinez, director of the Center for Exports and Investments, as quoted in Listin Diario. The CEI-RD is sponsoring the Cap Cana Championship, part of the PGA Senior Tour, under way from 23-29 March at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Punta Espada Golf Club in the residential development of Cap Cana. A big plus is the extensive coverage the event receives on The Golf Channel.
Martinez says while it is a leading tourist attraction, golf also has the potential to foster ties that boost exports and investments. "Many people play golf. That is the sport that defines big-time investors and executives, the people whose attention we would like to attract," he says. He mentioned that in Japan 20 million people play golf and it would be a good way to try and establish relations with the country. One of the big name players this year is Greg Norman, who is designing the Costa Blanca golf course in Juan Dolio.
