JC TOURS, Travel Contacts' member for Portugal, details some delightful locations within the country that are ideal for MICE events.
|
|

The Pearl of Atlantic
The Madeira Archipelago, discovered by the Portuguese in 1418, is made up of the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo and the uninhabited islands of Selvagens and Desertas. Events such as The Flower Festival, the Atlantic Festival and The Madeira Wine Rally attract tourists from many different places.
Oporto the Old & New combines
Set in the famous Douro port-wine region of Portugal, Porto is the country's second-largest city and strikingly different to the capital. Whilst Lisbon is elegant and showy, Porto is hard working and down to earth. Events as the Fantasporto (Cinema) and The Wine & Gourmet's Essence make it worth visiting.
Lisbon a City with History
Lisbon, a city of contrasts, offering so much to discover and surprise, still maintaining the marks of its early history along with a rich cultural heritage, is one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe. Two of the greatest events will be Rock in Rio 2010(www.rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt) and also the Lisbon Marathon.
Algarve Coast
The Algarve is the most southern area of Portugal. Every year the Algarve welcomes millions of visitors who are attracted to this region by its pleasant Mediterranean climate as well as the natural local hospitality. Events like FIESA (the international sand sculpture festival) and the Algarve International Race Circuit (Formula 1 and Superbikes race) make it an unforgettable place.
