Portugal Golf Holidays – Study shows how tourists perceive the Algarve

Benagil Beach, Algarve. Tourists have a good impression of the Algarve

Tourists and residents shared their opinions about the Algarve

The perception of tourism in the Algarve has been recently updated according to two surveys. Although visitors generally have a quite good view of the region, locals are well aware of the industry’s significance to the area’s economy.

The two reports, dubbed RESTUR (for residents) and TurExperience (for tourists), were produced by the University of the Algarve’s Research Centre for Tourism, Sustainability and Wellbeing (CinTurs) and presented at the regional tourist board’s (RTA) headquarters.

Visitors from Portugal and other countries in the area, such as the United Kingdom, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Ireland, were among those who participated in the survey.

In the TurExperience study, researchers aimed to respond to the question, “How do tourists feel and view the Algarve as a destination?”.

“Whilst there have been previous studies on the demographics of the region’s visitors, we hope to draw attention to the fact that the present investigation was conducted all year round”. The coordinator of the study, Manuela Guerreiro, remarked, “We did not limit ourselves to just one month or two”.

To sum up, the results demonstrate that the Algarve is widely regarded as a “reputable and trustworthy destination”, as seen by the high proportion of repeat visitors.

But, visitors’ trust in the region is unrelated to its history and culture, thus this is where the Algarve should concentrate its efforts. “We need to make more of an effort to strengthen our identity” Guerreiro added.

Regional tourist board president, João Fernandes, is thrilled with the study’s positive findings. He said it was reassuring to know that visitors had a generally favourable impression of the region.

Findings from RESTUR were also presented, which supported Fernandes’ claim that locals recognise and appreciate tourism’s contribution to the economy. The vast majority of the 4,026 citizens polled in the Algarve’s 16 municipalities agreed that tourism helps the economy grow and provides new opportunities for people to find work.

Golf holidays in Lisbon. Lisbon has the fourth best gastronomy in Europe

Popular golf holidays destination Lisbon is among the best gastronomies in Europe

According to a survey conducted by Bounce, popular destination for golf holidays Lisbon is the fourth greatest city in Europe for gastronomy fans, after only Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona.

According to a press release sent by the company, which is dedicated to luggage storage in various destinations around the world, Lisbon achieved a score of 7.65 points out of 10 possible, standing out for the number of restaurants per 100,000 inhabitants.

The sixteen restaurants awarded Michelin stars were also taken into account, as were the many social media postings dedicated to the city’s culinary scene.

Paris topped the rankings with a score of 9.31, thanks in large part to the city’s strong social media activity and plenty of Michelin-starred establishments.

The Spanish capital Madrid came in at number two with a score of 8.35, mostly owing to the high density of restaurants per 100,000 residents and the highest total number of restaurants with at least one Michelin star (162).

The third position goes to Barcelona, also in Spain, which obtained an evaluation of 8.07 points, due to the combination of the high number of restaurants per 100 thousand inhabitants, many of which have Michelin stars (24) and a strong presence on social networks.

Lisbon, in 4th place, is followed by major European cities like Amsterdam, London, Vienna, Berlin, Munich and Rome.

The Portuguese capital is the second-most famous golf holiday destination in Portugal and has some of the best golf courses in Europe, like Oitavos Dunes and Praia del Rey.
