Portugal shines at the 28th

World Travel Awards™ ceremony

Even in a very unusual year like 2021, Portugal maintains the standards for tourism very high and brings home 32 WTA™ winning prizes.

Amongst these, there are the highly regarded awards for World's Responsible Tourism Award, World's Leading Wine Region Hotel, World's Leading Luxury Leisure Resort, World's Leading Classic Hotel, World's Leading Beach Destination and World's Leading Adventure Tourist Attraction.

This is a fair recognition of the Portuguese art of welcoming, and a proof that this is a country devoted to tourism, with a remarkable ability to adapt to the harshest of circumstances, reinventing itself to keep providing its tourists with unforgettable experiences.

If you’re thinking about bringing your children to live and study in Portugal…

Then you’ll find useful to know that the supply for high quality international schools from north to south of the country is wide. Here are a few examples of locations where one can find trustworthy teaching institutions, whose curricula are in English and the tuition fees are fair and affordable:

-In Porto, between 5.700€ and 12.300€ yearly (variable with grade).

-In Palmela, between 7.400€ and 12.900€.

-In Lisbon, between 10.900€ and 20.600€.

-In Cascais/Carcavelos, between 10.900€ and 23.000€.

These are truly viable options for the first-year adaptation period, during which the child/teenager may easily learn enough Portuguese to attend public school the following year, which is free of charge and bears high quality standards of European teaching.

Reasons why real estate investments in the Portuguese tourism sector will shine after the Covid-19 stage:

One of the most logical antidotes to the current confinement and negativity will surely be travelling, for it provides positive, aspirational feelings and memories, and this will definitely boom after the travelling restrictions are over;
European people travelling will prefer tourism experiences closer to home (European Union instead of Africa or Asia, for instance);
There is a global sense of safety/security in the European Union due to the way governments managed Covid-19, in comparison with the USA, etc;
Within this scenario, the 420 million people who live in the Schengen area, will be just between 45 minutes and 4 hours away from Lisbon or Porto by airplane;
From all southern Europe tourism destinations, Portugal was the one whose people's responsibility and civism made the spreading of the pandemic insignificant when compared with Spain, France or Italy, proving to be a trustworthy role model of safety in the eyes of the world;
The interest for low cost travel/vacation destinations will increase because of the Coronavirus economical impact (cheaper to spend time in Lisbon than in Paris, Barcelona or Rome, for instance);
For health awareness, a significant proportion of tourists will prefer the privacy and quietness of a city apartment, a villa or a roomy beach resort instead of busy crowded hotels (variety of guests' origins, diversified staff accessing the common areas and even the room, shared AC ventilation per floor, amongst many others).
