2008-02-14 Tourism in Tucson - Wednesday, 13th at 4Hoteliers

The winter season draws many golfers to the Southwest, and Tucson offers a wealth of professionally designed courses. Among the best is the Arizona National Golf Club, which was heralded at its opening by Golf Digest as one of the top ten new courses in the United States. The Lodge at Ventana Canyon is home to the Tom Fazio-designed Mountain and Canyon courses, which form a 600-acre oasis in the midst of the Sonora. In addition, Hiltons El Conquistador resort features three recently renovated courses designed by Greg Nash.

2008-02-29 MaltaToday, Good governance is not good enough

More recently, Alfred Sant has gone into this proposal in greater detail. He claims that the former landfills of Maghtab and Tal-Qortin would be ideal for golf courses; more specifically, he insists that, unlike the Nationalist governments previous proposal for ix-Xaghra l-Hamra, the ones Labour is proposing would be stand-alone. In other words, they would not require the construction of additional facilities such as hotels, villas, bungalows and other such amenities.

Leaving aside the environmental objections to golf in the first place (which focus mainly on our countrys paucity in two all-important resources: land and water); this latter aspect is likely to set Sants golf course proposal on a head-on collision course with the selfsame tourism industry which has for years been clamouring for golf courses; but whose chief exponents (the MHRA) have constantly argued that stand-alone golf courses do not make economic sense.

2008-02-10 Tifton Gazette - Jekyll developer welcomes public comment

Georgians also know that the State cannot do this project alone, and bringing in a private partner is not a "greed driven" relationship. It simply makes good sense for the State, for the taxpayer and the island visitor. Other state-owned properties and even national parks have private partners to help build and run hotels, golf courses and restaurants.

Although several writers allege that occupancy rates havent dropped significantly in the past few years and that declining visitation can be attributed to closed hotels, the truth is quite different. With fewer hotels, the same number of visitors should produce a rise in occupancy rates. Instead those rates continue to slide. And all of this is happening while Georgias population and visitation to surrounding islands is booming. Visitors must have more incentive to visit Jekyll Island than just a new hotel or a coat of paint on an old one.
