A New Era for Outdoor Sports: Minigolf Embraces Opportunities

Justin Lee

Recently, the General Office of the State Council formally transmitted the Guiding Opinions on Building High-Quality Outdoor Sports Destinations, jointly formulated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Sport. This landmark policy document not only charts the development path for the outdoor sports industry but also brings unprecedented historical opportunities for the promotion and development of Minigolf!

Overall Goal: Building One Hundred High-Quality Outdoor Sports Destinations

According to the Guiding Opinions, by 2030, approximately 100 high-quality outdoor sports destinations will be established across the country. These destinations will integrate complete facilities, high-quality services, diverse events, and international recognition, serving as core engines to drive the high-quality development of the outdoor sports industry. As promoters of Minigolf, we feel a profound sense of responsibility and are filled with anticipation!

The Unique Charm and Opportunities of Minigolf

As an emerging outdoor sport that combines leisure, competition, and entertainment, Minigolf is beloved by people of all ages due to its compact and flexible nature, ease of learning, and strong adaptability. The introduction of these Guiding Opinions undoubtedly provides a broader stage for the popularization and promotion of Minigolf.

We will actively respond to the policy call by leveraging the construction of high-quality outdoor sports destinations to advance the improvement of Minigolf facilities and service standards. Simultaneously, we will strengthen cooperation with internationally renowned outdoor sports enterprises, introduce advanced event resources and technical expertise, and enhance the professionalism and influence of Minigolf competitions.

Integrated Development for a Shared Future

The Guiding Opinions also emphasize the integrated development of outdoor sports with related industries. For Minigolf, this means opportunities to deeply integrate with sectors such as tourism, culture, and wellness, developing more creative and appealing products and services. For example, we can create themed Minigolf tourism routes by combining natural scenery and cultural landscapes, or collaborate with educational institutions to introduce Minigolf into schools, fostering interest and passion for the sport among young people.

Safety and Prevention: Ensuring a Secure Environment

While embracing the benefits of the policy, we are also keenly aware of the importance of safety and prevention. Therefore, we will strictly adhere to the requirements of the Guiding Opinions by establishing and improving a comprehensive safety and prevention system for Minigolf. This includes strengthening safety supervision and emergency response capabilities for events and activities. Additionally, we will enhance safety education and training for participants, raising their safety awareness and self-protection skills.

Moving Forward Together: Opening a New Chapter for Minigolf

Looking ahead, the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC) will join hands with partners from all sectors to seize the opportunities presented by the policy and promote the nationwide popularization and development of Minigolf. We believe that in the near future, Minigolf will become a beloved choice for more people, contributing to the prosperous development of China's outdoor sports industry!
