The U.S. Focuses on the Riviera Nayarit’s Golf Courses
- Three golf journalists in the United States visited the greens in the Riviera Nayarit in order to promote them to over a million fans of this “gentleman’s sport.”
The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) hosted a FAM trip for three North American journalists specializing in the game of golf so they could become acquainted with and play on the courses hosted by the destination.
The trip was held at the end of May and extended into the first days of June; it was justified by the importance this gentleman’s game holds for the captive market the United States represents for the Riviera Nayarit.
The sum total of impressions generated by the publications the three reporters write for surpasses one million golf lovers.
