Since golf is a type of luxury tourism, it is one of the alternative tourism types that countries value most. Turkey has turned into a golf center that stands out among its peers with its high quality, by bringing together golf lovers of the world with international golf facilities and tournaments that have been put into service one after another in recent years. According to the data of the Turkish Golf Federation, as of 2018, there are 36 golf courses in 18 facilities in Turkey. There are golf courses in Muğla and Istanbul provinces, especially in Antalya, but Belek Region in particular creates a good golf tourism potential with its qualified golf courses and facilities and hosts international tournaments.
In the past days, the Maxx Royal 2022 Golf Tournament, where SUNEXPRESS is the official airline partner, found their owners. Many professional golfers from all over Europe participated in the finals of the tournament held in Antalya Belek between 10-13 December.
The airline also accompanied nearly 30 tournaments of Europe's popular golf tournament, the Maxx Royal Golf Tournament, throughout the year. Participants of the tournament with their planes came together at Montgomery Maxx Royal Golf Club in Belek for the last tournament of 2022. SunExpress CEO Max Kownatzki presented the winners with their awards at the ceremony at the end of the tournament.
