Portugal Golf Holidays – Faro Airport will add new routes and new locations in the summer

Algarve. Faro Airport will have new routes and destinations

Faro Airport will have new routes and destinations

The management of Portugal’s international airport Gago Coutinho (ANA), in Faro, Algarve, has revealed that this summer, the airport will offer 18 new routes to 6 new locations, and 81 connections to 71 cities.

The airport manager in Faro believes that the increased accessibility to the Algarve via flights will help to “consolidate the offer and regional and national tourism activities” during the peak season for visitors to the region.

The airline noted that the additional flights will help the “development of strategic markets”, and that “the primary issuing nations for Faro airport, United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, enhanced their supply of seats” compared to the summer of 2019.

Turismo do Algarve‘s president João Fernandes deemed this a “clear proof” of “the trust of tour operators and airlines in the Algarve destination”.

The 6 new destinations, Aarhus (Denmark), Rome (Italy), Strasbourg (France), Bilbao (Spain), and Jersey and Exeter (UK), will provide “almost 85,000 more seats” to Faro, as noted by João Fernandes, who highlighted the significance of the 18 new routes announced by ANA for the period from April to October.

In response to a question regarding whether or not the Algarve would surpass its record-breaking visitor numbers from 2019, João Fernandes said that there are encouraging signs in that direction, but that “cautious optimism” is needed, given the current economic and geopolitical situation.

The Algarve is the most famous golf holiday destination in Portugal and has some of the best golf courses in the country, like Monte Rei or Dom Pedro Old.

Infinitum Lakes hosts the 2023 Copa S. M. El Rey

The famous Copa S. M. El Rey is currently taking place at one of the stunning Infinitum golf courses, in Catalonia. The popular amateur event started on February 28th and it will end on March 5th.

The 2023 edition of Spain’s International Amateur Men’s Championship, which has previously been held at stunning golf courses like El Saler, Real Sevilla, and Real Sotogrande, is being held at Infinitum Lakes.

This year’s Copa S.M. El Rey is being held in the Infinitum resort because of its stellar reputation as a premier event location, which was cemented in April 2022, when the resort’s Lakes course hosted the DP World Tour‘s ISPS Handa Championship, which ended up being won by the popular Spanish golfer Pablo Larrazábal.

Since 2017, Infinitum has also played host to the DP World Tour Qualifying School Final Stage, with last year’s event being dramatically won by Swedish golfer Simon Forsström over the course of six days.

The Costa Dorada venue has recently announced the hiring of a new director of golf, Joaquin Mora Bertrán, who will be responsible for overseeing all golf operations at Infinitum, including the resort’s three golf courses, two clubhouses, and golf academy.

Mora commented following his hiring, “I am happy to be chosen the new head of golf at Infinitum, a prestigious resort in a lovely region of Spain”.

“My goal is to provide golfers with a world-class experience at a venue with one of Europe’s best amenities. We are hosting the Copa S.M. El Rey, and we couldn’t be more excited!”, Mora concluded.
