This article aims to establish a methodology for comparing golf-tourism efficiency of a set of 14 Mediterranean countries easily using three Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. We have compared three DEA models. The first model resorts only to physical variables, while the latter two also consider cybermetric variables. Approximately onethird of the 14 analysed Mediterranean countries are rated efficient by any of our models (Bosnia-Herzegovina, France, Slovenia, and Spain), while 9 countries appear inefficient in all three models. Our results show that resorting to the model exclusively based on cybermetric variables ranks the non-efficient countries exactly the same way as the model based on physical variables. We have also found an interesting result that gives us a guide for developing golf tourism at the country level.

This paper describes the perspectives and opportunities for the development of golf tourism in Russian regions. Having examined current global trends and the Programme for the development of golf in Russia by 2020, the authors of the study have analysed the evolution of this sport in the country, revealed the potential and the most popular destinations for further development of domestic and inbound golf tourism. Golf is relatively young and developing sport for Russia. It became popular after 2009, when it was included in the Olympics. In 2014, it was also included in the national development programme of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. Both facts triggered the development of domestic and inbound golf tourism. This paper analyzes the dynamics of the development of golf infrastructure by the federal districts and outlines the most popular championships and tournaments hosted by the Russian cities. This data allowed identifying the most promising local destinations for golf tourism. At the moment, the largest local golf centres are the city of Moscow, Moscow and Leningrad Regions, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Krasnoyarsk territory. The Krasnodar territory also has a good perspective to become one of the leading destinations for golf tourism in the nearest future. According to the authors, currently golf tourism is evolving at a low pace in the Russian Federation. This is due to the poor promotion of golf as a sport and leisure activity among the Russian population. However, there is a strong potential for the development of domestic and inbound golf tourism.

“…Thus, for example, Garau-Vadell & Borja-Solé 2008highlight golf tourism as an alternative that is "very appropriate to compensate the traditional imbalance of tourist flows" that is detected in the island of Majorca (Spain). Correia, Videira, Alves, Ramires, Subtil & Martins (2006), in turn, conduct a sustainability asssessment of golf courses in the Algarve region (Portugal) from an economic, financial and environmental perspective, while Pestana, Batler & Correia (2010) put the focus on the length of golf tourism stays in the same geographic location. To these we should add the several studies performed in countries with long-standing golf traditions like the US and Britain.…”

El deporte en general, se ha consolidado como una de las principales actividades recreativas de nuestra sociedad, además de un indicador significativo del bienestar y calidad de vida de los ciudadanos, y de un pretexto para el disfrute de nuestras vacaciones en áreas diferentes al de nuestra residencia habitual, dando lugar al turismo deportivo. El deporte del golf contribuye a este tipo de turismo, principalmente en las regiones costeras del sur de Europa, apoyado esencialmente en la excelente climatología que se disfruta en ellas, y en la fuerte penetración de este deporte en algunos países europeos. En este trabajo realizamos una breve presentación de la práctica actual de este deporte en estas regiones (situadas entre los paralelos 37 y 41), así como de los factores adicionales que contribuyen a la promoción del turismo de golf en estas zonas, y el impacto económico sobre ellas.
