Turismo de Portugal will enact the Portuguese government’s proposed strategy to place sustainability at the heart of the country’s national tourism policy, with specific focus on the environment, social impacts and economic impacts.
By 2027, the tourist board will aim to ensure the majority of all tourism businesses in the country develop and implement energy, water and waste management measures.
Social priorities include boosting employment prospects for Portuguese workers, reducing the seasonality of the country’s tourism offering and improving residents’ outlook on tourism development in the country and better profiling its benefits.
