Portugal’s tourism sector confirms the recovery in 2022

Last year, Portugal was close to matching the records broken in 2019 in the tourism sector. The National Statistics Institute (INE) released preliminary data on tourism activities, showing that hotels and other tourist-related businesses served 26.5 million guests and registered 69.5 million overnight stays in total throughout the year.

The number of visitors was down 2.3% and the number of overnight stays was down 0.9% compared to 2019 before the pandemic. The increases were 83.3% and 86.3%, respectively, compared to 2021, a year still feeling the effects of covid-19.

According to INE, domestic overnight visits increased in 2022 in all regions compared to 2019. The highest growth in non-local overnight stays was seen in the North (+4.3%), followed by the Azores (+5.1%), and Madeira (+4.5%).

Overall, compared to 2019, domestic overnight stays climbed by 8.6%, while international overnight stays dropped by 5%.

In 2022, the United Kingdom was the top outbound market, accounting for 19.3% of all overnight stays by non-locals. This was over three times the value from 2021 but 4% less than 2019. Germany (11.5%), Spain (10.8%), and France (9.3%) are the next largest markets. The USA accounted for 7.5% in 2022, up 327.4% from the previous year and 26.9% from 2019. Other markets that saw significant increases were Brazil and Ireland.

3rd edition of the Circuit Interclubs Pairs Trophy in the Costa Blanca

The Interclubs Pairs Trophy, a popular circuit that in its 2nd edition already brought together 1,000 players, will return for a third year this February, according to the Association of Golf Courses of the Costa Blanca and the Valencian Community (ACGCBCV).

Continuing on the success of the prior two seasons, a total of 14 tournaments have been set up around the Costa Blanca for this third edition: 2 tests in Castellón, 5 in Valencia, and 7 in Alicante.

The circuit was created after the pandemic in an effort to encourage players to visit as many golf courses as possible in the entire Costa Blanca. There is no limit on the number of tests that can be played and only the top four scores out of all the tests taken are used to determine the final ranking.

The official poster of the circuit features a schedule of all 14 events, with the February 26 start at the Club de Golf Costa de Azahar highlighted. On March 5, the second tournament will be held at El Saler golf course.

For the third year in a row, all Valencian Community amateur golf records will be broken thanks to the prizes: the top-ranked pairs in each category will win a simultaneous annual subscription to all the courses on the circuit, which is worth over €30,000.

As an added bonus, four more couples in each category will each receive a membership to all participating golf courses for six, three, two, or one month, respectively, depending on the position reached. There will be a total of 20 subscriptions available through this circuit.

Costa Blanca is one of the most beautiful regions in Spain and has some of the best golf courses in the country. Book your golf holidays in Costa Blanca with Tee Times Golf Agency and enjoy a unique golf holiday experience.
