Portugal was considered the "Best Tourist Destination in Europe", in the European edition of the World Travel Awards 2022, which happens for the fifth time in the last six years. The country shone once again in those who are considered the 'Oscars' of Tourism, collecting three dozen awards.
"The election results from the vote of thousands of professionals in the sector, from all countries of the world, and this year Portugal has won 30 more awards, between destination, regions and products and services," the Ministry of Economy and The Sea, which oversees the sector, writes in a statement.
"The distinction, in more than three dozen categories in the European edition of the World Travel Awards 2022, takes on particular significance after the difficult years of the pandemic. It is with great pride that we see companies, professionals and national tourism entities being recognized by their peers internationally. All agents in the sector are to be congratulated for being up to this challenge, which is to affirm Portugal as a tourist destination of excellence, whatever the circumstances", says the Secretary of State for Tourism, Commerce and Services, Rita Marques, quoted in the same note.
The World Travel Awards are awarded by professionals in the sector on a global scale since 1993, distinguishing the work developed in the tourism industry, in order to stimulate the competitiveness and quality of tourism. The world awards ceremony is scheduled for November 11 in Oman. In 2021, it is recalled, Portugal won more than two dozen awards in the European edition of the 'Oscars' of tourism.
