The first day is aimed at young people, followed by three days for professionals (19 to 21) and a last day open to the general public, in an event that this year includes knowledge workshops, debates, exhibitions and nature.
RTA will also reinforce its commitment to the Spanish market, through a fam trip which will take place from the 19th to the 22nd of October, organized in conjunction with the Algarve Tourism Association (ATA).
«This action aims to publicize the offer of sports tourism in the Algarve to tour operators in Spain, and through ATA also in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and is part of the project Internacionalizar + Algarve 2.0, which RTA and ATA integrate with the perspective of stimulating the sharing of knowledge between partners, the empowerment of SMEs in the Algarve for internationalization and the development of innovative mechanisms for accessing new foreign markets», frames the tourism region.
