Is Your Golf Tour Operator In Spain Insured And A Member Of
IAGTO?
As you may be aware, Golf 4u Spain have now been
providing golf ers with custom golf holidays here on the
Costa del Sol since 2006. In this time, we have had the
pleasure of being the golf tour operator of choice f or no
less than 15,000 satisfied golfers.
So f or us, it’s a no-brainer to be totally transparent when
it comes to our own trading practices. We f eel that it’s
vital that our own customers are saf e in the knowledge
that when it comes to booking their golf holiday, Golf 4u
Spain are seen as a reliable, prof essional and above all,
trusted golf tour operator.
Horror Stories
Unf ortunately, the Costa del Sol has many unscrupulous individuals masquerading as legitimate companies
here on the coast and it seems that the economic crisis has only achieved in bringing out the worst in
human nature, especially where money is concerned.

Fully Licensed and Insured
Golf 4u are f ully licensed, bonded and insured with our very own shiny CIAN number (296132-2). The CIAN is
issued by the Spanish government and is the equivalent of ABTA in the UK. The CIAN means that we are
licensed to sell holidays here in Spain and provides our customers with up to 500,000 Euros in indemnity
cover, in the very unlikely event of the liquidation of our business.
Member of IAGTO
Since early 2012, Golf 4u have been members of IAGTO.
Set up in 1997, IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators) is a recognised global trade
organisation of which oversees around 550 Golf Tour Operators in around 61 countries.
IAGTO incorporates many roles including the development of golf travel worldwide, promotes and
implements best practices within the golf tourism industry and creates business opportunities between
IAGTO members and their partners.
With IAGTO, you have to be a f ully established and f inancially sound company bef ore you can become a
member.
You can see our prof ile on their website at
http://www.iagto.com/Public/Golf Traveller/Def ault.aspx
Just select “Spain” and enter “golf 4u” to view our membership inf ormation.
So What Should I Look For In A Golf Tour Operator?
Well, we would obviously love f or you to use the f ully insured services of Golf 4u Spain, but if you do
choose to shop around, proceed with caution and look f or the f ollowing
Are the golf tour operators members of IAGTO?
Do they have (and advertise it on their website) a genuine CIAN number?
Ask if they are f ully bonded and that your payment is insured?
Do they have a business phone number you can call?
Check the whois website (http://whois.domaintools.com) How old is their domain name? Has it been
established f or a number of years or has it just popped up overnight?
Are they able to provide genuine testimonials f rom existing customers?
If any other companies cannot provide one of the above points, ask yourself why? But more importantly,
ask them why not?
