The Real Club de Golf El Prat flew to London to participate to the “Barcelona Golf day”, an event organized by Barcelona Provincial Council and Barcelona Golf Destination, to present the Catalan Capital as a golf destination.

The event took place at the exclusive London Golf Club located in Kent, about 20 miles southeast of London, and was attended by tour operators, journalists, and influent people from the world of golf in the United Kingdom.

The association has the support and collaboration of the Barcelona Provincial Council, and together they have created an ambitious action plan to promote the city internationally and attract quality tourism.

We are sure that the action will contribute to position the province of Barcelona in the golf map and that will generate new business opportunities related to other segments such as gastronomic and wine tourism.”
