Portugal has high ‘revenue per international tourist’
- 16 September, 21
The minister of the economy said “one of the countries in Europe that extracts more revenue per international tourist and that this grew more than 60%” between 2011 and 2019.
“For this, we need to invest in tourism products that attract tourists to other regions of the country, beyond those that are the traditional tourist regions, the Algarve, Madeira or Lisbon,” he said.
One of the pillars of this strategy has been wine tourism, an area in which the government has already supported, since 2019, 60 projects, including new accommodation units, tasting rooms, staff training or the design of tourist routes, which have allowed them to attract quite a few tourists.
In recent years, Portugal has very significantly improved the quality of its vineyards and wineries .
