Recently, the "World Travel Awards," known as the Oscars of the tourism industry, were announced in Muscat, Oman. The European nation of Portugal has once again won the "World's Leading Destination" award, marking the third time the country has received this honor. In addition, Portugal secured 11 other awards. The Portuguese capital, Lisbon, was also named the "World's Leading City Break Destination," another major accolade following its win as the "World's Leading City Destination" last year.
Rita Marques, Portugal's Secretary of State for Tourism, emphasized that the "World's Leading Destination" award is an international honor, and winning it for three consecutive years proves the efforts made to establish Portugal as a world-class tourism destination. We must continue to work hard to strengthen Portugal's international recognition and reputation. The Secretary of State for Tourism also stated that this is an honor that demonstrates the excellence of Portugal and its people, while also setting higher standards for the entire industry.
Paula Oliveira, Executive Director of the Lisbon Tourism Association, stated that the booming tourism industry is the main driving force behind Lisbon winning the World Travel Awards. She noted that with this award, Lisbon has once again raised the level of its tourism industry, while proving that efforts to vigorously promote Lisbon's culture, gastronomy, and tourist attractions have effectively facilitated the development of the city's tourism sector.
As a livable and tourist-friendly European country, Portugal meets the needs of many visitors and residents in terms of daily life, travel, and leisure. An increasing number of people are choosing to head to Portugal for various reasons, including tourism, immigration, and education. Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, investors can purchase qualifying properties starting from 350,000 euros to apply for a Golden Residence Permit for three generations of their family. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's beautiful scenery, healthcare, education, and retirement benefits, while also enjoying visa-free travel to 26 Schengen countries—a multi-faceted advantage.
Since 2018, the Portuguese government has successively introduced open immigration incentive policies, such as lowering the threshold for naturalization and relaxing requirements for permanent residency, welcoming global investors with open arms. This holds strong appeal for investors interested in immigrating to Portugal. Therefore, those interested in investment immigration to Portugal should seize this favorable policy period to take advantage of the opportunity for low-cost immigration and benefit early!
As an active promoter of European investment immigration, WorldWay Group partnered with the Embassy of Portugal in China as early as 2013 to introduce the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" to China, launching a wonderful journey of investment immigration to Portugal. As one of the earliest immigration agencies to promote the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" in China, WorldWay has maintained excellent interaction with the Portuguese government for many years to help you immigrate to Portugal with ease!
