Tourism positively impacting the Algarve

  • 1 March, 23

On 17 February, two studies were presented in Faro to find out more about how Algarvians view tourism in the region, as well as how tourists feel about the region. The first study revealed that around two-thirds of Portuguese citizens living in the Algarve have part or all of their household income from the tourism sector.

“We found that there is a very high percentage of people who have their professional activity related to tourism, or in some way their families benefit from the fact that they are professionally involved in tourism,” said Patrícia Pinto, a professor at the University of the Algarve and responsible for the study, which is called RESTUR (Attitudes and Behaviours of Residents): Contributions to the Development of a Sustainable Tourism Strategy in the Algarve).
