In 1998, two entrepreneurial-minded individuals, both with backgrounds in golf, one with a strong
background in the travel business and the other with a strong background in the consumer show
business launched the International Golf Show.
Tim Orlando with a 20 year background in the travel industry and owner of Ultimate Golf Vacations
along with Claudio DeMarchi a seasoned veteran of the consumer show industry having worked on the
creation and development of the original Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver Golf Shows as well as the
current owner/producer of the London Golf &
Travel Expo.
Why a golf show in Toronto in the fall time period?
Simple, the Greater Metropolitan Toronto Area is the largest and most lucrative golf market in Canada.
Canada continues to be a leader with one of the highest golf participation rates in the world with one of
the shortest local playing seasons.
It was identified that the fall show would be ideal for exhibitors in the following categories:
Resort and destination areas targeting golfers for the fall, winter and spring seasons. Golf retailers and
manufacturers with inventory to clear, and new products to introduce. Golf professionals with local
indoor schools, golf schools in warm winter destination areas, and indoor practice facilities.
The short history of the show has seen a growth in exhibitors from 62 in 1998 to 85 in 1999, and to109
in the 2000. Increases of 40% and 25% respectively. Attendance has also shown similar growth,
approximately 27% annually, from 9,700 in 1998 to slightly mare than 16,000 visitors at the year 2000
show.
All indications from previous years exhibitors are that Canada`s fastest growing consumer golf show
will grow again.
