About us
Kastanj Collection and Grand Open are two partners that strongly believe we need a professional B2B golf travel fair in Sweden.
From the Nordic countries and especially from Sweden there is a huge stream of golfers traveling abroad every year. We have noticed and heard that there is need for a professional fair that provides relevant connections with personal meetings.
With this in mind, we have decided to team up and create the best tailor made high end golf travel fair in Sweden with quality and "less is more" as a key word. This means a selected group of Golf Resorts / Hotels / Destinations / Travel agents / Golf pros will be invited to participate.
We want to offer exhibitors and travel agents / golf pros the best possible conditions to do concrete business. With our shared knowledge, contacts and many years of experience in the travel industry and entertainment business, we feel confident that we will invite the right supplier and high quality agents.
