Various regional initiatives have been introduced in Portugal to bolster the tourism sector. In Portimão, the City Council launched the ‘Portimão Tourism Development and Promotion Strategy – Horizon 2035’. This long-term project involves partnering with ‘IPDT – Tourism Intelligence’ to conduct surveys and address challenges such as seasonality, sustainability, and market competitiveness.

Other regional efforts include the ‘Vamos Falar de Turismo’ event in Montemor-o-Novo, which focuses on cooperation and territorial development. Additionally, the Algarve region is hosting the ‘Nature & Nautic Sessions’ to promote nautical tourism through network cooperation between public entities and private companies. This session is part of the ‘Internationalize + Algarve 3.0’ project, co-financed by the European Union.
