Entrepreneurship: Nicolas Burluraux (GE 2002), PartirGolfer.com

I/ Identity
Nicolas Burluraux
Edhec Business School, NITC major, Class of 2002

II/ Business start-up project:
Launch of the PartirGolfer.com website in 2010, a travel agency specialising in the creation and marketing of golf trips in France and abroad.

Our approach: the customer contacts us and within 48 hours we offer a customised journey that entirely matches their expectations. PartirGolfer.com takes care of everything: flights, transfers, hotel and golf course bookings, negotiation of the best tee-times for the customers’ enjoyment (time of departure) and all at an ultra competitive price.
We target all French golfers, whether beginners or professionals, whatever their level or budget. We have selected over 200 golf courses and 260 hotels in 200 fantastic settings so as to offer our customers the widest choice of golf courses on the market (among others: Scotland, Morocco, Spain, Mauritius, South Africa, Cyprus, Turkey, Bali…)
Nicolas BURLURAUX founded the company using equity capital and now works with a staff of 6.

Our aim is to rapidly become one of the major actors in this tourist niche. The French golf industry is growing fast, and is set to acquire an international reputation since France has been chosen to organise the 2018 Ryder Cup (a highly prestigious biennial match between Europe and the United States)
