The golfer, the best tourist
The Madrid Masters tournament is a great tournament that promotes the golf practicing as one of the main lures to attract quality tourism.
Some reports stated that the golf tourist is the one that spends more time in the places they visit, from five to nine days. He enjoys visiting museums, attending cultural events and frequenting restaurants and shops.
The National Golf Center is one of the best courses in the Community of Madrid.
It is one course where Madrilians who play regularly can go by metro.
For all this reasons, is expected a massive assistance to this National Golf Center tournament. The event will be live broadcasted on television.
