London, UK – GMS Agency is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with Laguna Golf Phuket in Thailand, one of Asia’s premier integrated golf destinations. As part of the new agreement, GMS will also support Laguna Golf Bintan in Indonesia, becoming the international PR and marketing partner for both properties within the Banyan Group.
