Worldway Group has learned that according to the latest 'Tourism Barometer' released by the Portuguese Institute for Tourism Planning and Development, Portugal's tourism industry is expected to perform as well as or better than it did in 2018. Over the next six months, domestic demand, private investment, and employment are all projected to increase.


It is reported that regarding the performance of the national tourism industry in 2018, 73.5% of respondents felt it met expectations, while 22.1% exceeded them. 67.6% of respondents believed that external investment performance met expectations, and 20.6% stated it was higher than expected.


In January 2019, the average confidence level in Portugal's tourism industry was 81 points, an increase of 4 points from October 2018. Among these, 44.1% of respondents believed that Portugal's tourism performance in 2019 would be roughly on par with 2018, while 33.8% believed it would exceed 2018 levels.


Tourism shines bright, driving the booming real estate industry


In recent years, Portugal's tourism industry has flourished, and the country has won numerous international tourism awards. According to data released by the Bank of Portugal, in the first half of 2018, Portugal's tourism revenue increased by 13.9% compared to the same period last year, and tourism industry profits grew by 17.3%. Meanwhile, the number of tourists received by Portuguese airports increased by 9% year-on-year. It is evident that the value of tourism in Portugal is continuously rising, attracting more and more tourists to spend, which has driven up demand for housing rentals and caused the real estate industry to thrive.


In 2019, both the rental and home-buying markets in Portugal are highly sought after, with the rental sector being particularly eye-catching, as rental prices have risen by 26% compared to the same period in 2016. For investors who have already entered the market, this is a tangible reward!


Buy property starting from 350,000 Euros for both investment and residency


The vigorous development of Portugal's tourism industry has driven a hot real estate market, and the investment prospects are clear to all. Interested investors should seize the opportunity and act in a timely manner.


Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, by purchasing properties over 30 years old or properties located in urban rehabilitation areas with a total investment of no less than 350,000 Euros, the whole family of three generations can quickly obtain a Portuguese Golden Residence Permit. This also allows participation in the Portuguese real estate market, achieving a double harvest of investment and residency.

As a top 500 Asian brand and a leading investment immigration institution, Worldway Group, as a pioneer in European investment immigration projects, has always been at the forefront of the industry regarding Portuguese investment immigration. In April 2013, in collaboration with the Embassy of Portugal in China, we introduced the Portuguese 'Golden Residence Permit Program' to China, starting a wonderful journey of Portuguese investment immigration. As one of the earliest immigration agencies to promote the Portuguese 'Golden Residence Permit Program' in China, Worldway has maintained a good relationship with the Portuguese government for many years, helping investors easily realize their dreams of immigrating to Portugal.
