Portugal
Specialist Program Sponsor: Portuguese Trade & Tourist Commission in conjunction with Travel Agent Magazine.
Overview of Program: The contents of this online Portugal Specialist program are displayed in an easy to use structure. Starting with detailed information regarding their two major sponsor regions, Lisboa and Algarve, you will be able to find basic information which will be of utmost importance for your clients in order to prepare the trip. Information about places to visit, accommodations, lifestyle, amusements and shopping is also included. The last section provides some additional ideas regarding some of Portugal’s tourist products and includes a special feature for those clients who are interested in visiting our most prominent pilgrimage and religious places.
