There is one sport to dominate the sports and fitness industry in Düsseldorf and it might really surprise you. I’m talking, of course, about golf. German golfers remain among Europe’s most enthusiastic travelers with more than half taking at least one golf trip annually and spending an average of €2,600 per person. And Düsseldorf readily capitalizes on this by hosting one of the most exciting and impactful golf exhibitions, Rheingolf. The premier indoor golf event is making a bold return after a long pause. Call it revival. Call it reinvention. But as far as we can tell it’s going to make major waves among golf fans as it’s long been the leading consumer event for golf travel, equipment, and culture. Now housed at the STATION AIRPORT, a sunlit venue inside Düsseldorf Airport, the fair is designed to reflect the changing priorities of the golf industry. There’s a real appetite for premium experiences is met by a wide selection of exhibitors, offering everything from exotic international golf tours and winter golf destinations to weekend getaways. Rheingolf will also show the world that the sports and fitness industry in Düsseldorf is invested in sustainability. For one, the space will be powered by 100% green electricity and district heating from the City of Düsseldorf. The venue encourages visitors to arrive by train rather than car to reduce emissions. Reusable materials and waste reduction guidelines apply across the board. What makes the return of Rheingolf even better is the fact that the organizers are celebrating with a crowd-friendly gesture: free admission. That’s a rarity in the world of golf fairs. Strategically located in the Euregio (a densely populated golf region spanning western Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg), Rheingolf taps into a central European market with over 300,000 active golfers within a 200-kilometer radius.
