Recently, according to the Portuguese newspaper "Jornal de Notícias", Portugal has become the first country in Europe to receive the Safe Travels stamp.

Portuguese Minister of Tourism, Rita Marques, believes that the awarding of this stamp to Portugal by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is the best reward for the efforts Portugal has made in terms of tourism safety.

 

As the epidemic situation in Portugal improves, reopening the tourism industry is a matter of urgency. Tourism is a pillar industry for Portugal. According to the "2019 National Tourism Activity Data Report" recently released by the National Statistics Institute of Portugal, 2019 was a record-breaking year for the Portuguese tourism industry, with a total of 27 million tourists, reaching a historic high. Among them, the growth rate of local homestays reached 15%, which is five times the growth rate of the hotel industry.

 

Meanwhile, according to comprehensive reports from the Portuguese-Chinese newspaper, Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa announced that starting from June 15, Portugal will resume flight operations and reopen its borders, making collective efforts within the framework of the European Union so that the tourism industry can fully resume its activities.

 

Prime Minister António Costa stated, "I see everyone working hard to create a healthy and hygienic environment, including personal hygiene conditions, and guarantees for the hygiene of public spaces and equipment, to reduce the danger of the epidemic spreading. Lisbon Airport and airports across Portugal are ready and able to adapt to all normal air traffic operations."

 

As an ancient European country, Portugal can meet the needs of many tourists and residents in terms of safety, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and leisure. Portugal has also been rated as the "most suitable country to live in after the epidemic."

 

Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, investors who purchase properties starting from 350,000 EUR can apply for Portugal Golden Residence status for three generations of their family, enjoying Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, traveling freely through 26 Schengen countries, and simultaneously acquiring properties with permanent property rights. It can be described as achieving multiple goals at once!
