The Algarve will be the star of the 2016 Lisbon Tourism Exchange, which will take place between the 2nd and 6th of March, at FIL. The main national tourism fair will highlight the Algarve region as a nationally invited tourist destination, which will translate into many moments of entertainment, including wine tasting, cooking demonstrations, concerts and raffles.
In this edition, the Algarve has the presence of 15 municipalities and 26 hotels and tourist companies in the region, which will offer the public special packages at fair prices, in a new stand measuring around 900 square meters. Several novelties will also be presented, namely two new applications for mobile devices and the children's book «Algarve, who are you?».
«Being a guest destination reveals the importance that the Algarve holds as the largest national holiday destination. In 2015, the region recorded close to 17 million overnight stays and around 1,2 million rounds of golf, and we have been receiving more and more international distinctions. Our diversified offer contributes to this, with unique experiences, throughout the year, which make the Algarve region the favorite tourist destination of the Portuguese», considered the president of the Algarve Tourism Region Desidério Silva.
"At BTL, we intend to familiarize the trade and the public with the Algarve's diversified offer, through original and attractive actions," he added.
The RTA stand will focus on Sol e Praia, the region's main product. Algarve gastronomy and wines, nature tourism proposals, residential tourism, motorhomes, golf, among other travel experiences and tourist products are other proposals from Turismo do Algarve.
