Portugal’s hospitality and leisure sector is not only a testament to the nation’s warm welcome, but also a strategic business venture for investors. The combination of diverse accommodation options, strategic location, and a commitment to sustainable tourism positions Portugal as a business haven in the European market. As the country continues to evolve, savvy investors have the chance to be part of a dynamic industry that promises both financial success and the satisfaction of contributing to Portugal’s growing reputation as a premier destination for business and leisure alike. Over this 60-page Sector Insights publication, we talk to the sector’s leading figures to find out where the best opportunities lie, as well as analyze recent developments in MICE tourism, golf tourism, and more over a series of articles and infographics.
Portugal has turned things around superbly since the 2010s and is today leveraging EU funds and its strong appeal to foreign investors, especially in real estate, to build a more sustainable economy. The inflow of foreign capital shaped the Portuguese economy over 2023. The main benefactors were hospitality, real estate, and education. The US ranked as the number one country by investment volume for the first time. It is in this context that The Business Year began its research for this 150-page publication, meeting dozens of the country’s top business leaders across every major sector of the economy.
A editora Caminho das Palavras, em parceria com a Portugal Agora, acaba de publicar o livro Portugal – Estratégia e Ação, projeto editorial que vem apontar caminhos possíveis em três áreas estratégicas para o País: atratividade em termos de turismo e investimento; educação, inovação e investigação; e empreendedorismo. A plataforma Portugal Agora defende, desde o seu lançamento, uma visão estratégica assente em três pilares: um Portugal Atrativo, um Portugal do Conhecimento e um Portugal Empreendedor. Depois de cerca de três anos de atividade, propôs-se conceber um livro com contributos de personalidades reputadas, correspondentes a cada um dos eixos do projeto. Este livro compila textos que refletem um enquadramento e uma avaliação pessoal, visão estratégica e linhas de desenvolvimento para cada um destes temas em Portugal. No final de cada tópico, são apresentadas propostas para o futuro, valorizadas em termos de aplicabilidade, inovação e impacto esperado. Pretende-se, com esta iniciativa, consolidar consensos e facilitar a passagem da estratégia à ação – gerando propostas concretas para políticas públicas ou iniciativas da sociedade civil.
