bali - Indonesia's Tourism golf sector (Golf Tourism) has once again demonstrated its global competitiveness. This recognition came through exclusive coverage by the television program Golf Time from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, filmed at new kuta golf, bali. Affiliated with the global brand Golf Digest, the program specifically highlighted How Bali has become a Favorite Destination for Central European golfers with limited playing seasons (May–September).

Responding to this momentum, Darma Mangkuluhur Hutomo, Main Commissioner of PT Intra Golflink Resorts Tbk, emphasized that Golf Tourism is not just about Sports, but a gateway to attract high-spending tourists. Noting the potential of 1.6 million European tourists visiting Bali annually, Darma sees a golden opportunity to transform ordinary Tourist Visits into high-value special interest tourism.

This Golf Tourism development strategy is being implemented by Darma Mangkuluhur through upgrading iconic course infrastructure. One manifestation is the launch of Hole 17, named "Dewa’s Landing". Designed not only as a technical challenge for players but also as a symbol blending tropical landscapes with the exoticism of Bali's Cliffs—a unique selling point absent from European golf destinations.

Dominik, representative of Golf Time, acknowledged that this integrated Golf Tourism concept successfully captivates the European market. According to him, Czech golfers seek not just green courses but also Cultural Experiences and tropical Holidays during their winter season. This validates Darma's vision that the future of Bali Tourism lies in combining world-class Lifestyle, nature, and Sports.
