Desidério Silva, president of the Algarve Tourism Region (RTA), gives a «very positive» balance of the destination's participation in the last edition of FEHISPOR – Spain and Portugal Fair, which took place in Badajoz from 27 to 30 November.
The main Spanish-Portuguese fair on the Peninsula attracted around 30 visitors, 70 percent of whom are Spanish, according to data provided by the organization.
«Without a doubt, a business opportunity that we knew how to take advantage of through the contacts that the Algarve entrepreneurs established with their Spanish counterparts», says Desidério Silva.

"We contribute to increase the Algarve's notoriety in Spanish Extremadura, expand the knowledge that its travel agents and tour operators have of the destination and provide new business opportunities for participating companies", reinforces the president of RTA.
The gastronomic demonstrations with Algarvian chefs were also very successful, which «greatly contributed to the promotion of the lifestyle and cuisine associated with the Mediterranean diet», events that took place in the 144 square meter space occupied by the Algarve.
The initiative was supported by QREN as part of the application to PO Algarve 21 – Articular Para Intervir – 2nd Phase, in the Mediterranean Diet component, of which RTA is a partner.
