Portugal is expected to close the year 2024 with 27 billion euros in tourist revenue and the outlook is for growth of 9% in 2025, according to the Secretary of State for Tourism.
"We know that the country estimates that it will reach something like 27 billion in revenue [in tourism] by the end of this year 2024 and the outlook for 2025 is to grow in the order of 9%", said Pedro Machado.
The government official was speaking in Aveiro at the opening panel of a conference dedicated to the 2035 Tourism Strategy, where he declared that “Portugal does not have too many tourists” and that the prospect is to continue growing.
This growth, he argued, entails challenges and risks that need to be taken into account, in terms of labour, which needs to be qualified, the digital transition of companies and also the training of immigrants.
Aging, or pressure on resources, particularly water, are other concerns he highlighted.
“We also want to hear from external partners, namely the most important players”, said Pedro Machado, alluding to the process of building the 2035 Tourism Strategy, which is being developed with public and private entities in the tourism “ecosystem”.
