Portugal and Spain will join forces to hold the 1st World Interior Tourism Congress, in Cáceres, from 26 to 28 November, to eliminate borders and outline development strategies for both territories.
In a presentation the president of the Associação Ibérica Turismo do Interior (AITI), Miguel Martins, summarised the main objective of the meeting that will take place in the Spanish city in the Extremadura region.
The Spanish official highlighted that, although the two countries on the Iberian Peninsula share territory, this in itself means nothing if there is no development project.
Also present at the presentation, the general director of Tourism of Estremadura, Jesús Viñuales, highlighted the creation “of a joint destination, which is A Raia”.
For the vice-president of Turismo Centro de Portugal, Anabela Freitas, the more than 1,200 kilometers of lane between Portugal and Spain are nothing more than an administrative border. “It’s much more that unites us than separates us”, she highlighted.
The person responsible for Turismo Centro highlighted how one of the challenges of tourism in the interior is the coordination between the various entities with tourism competencies, such as, for example, Intermunicipal Communities, which receive European funds and want to enter this sector.
