Portugal expects to see rise in foreign visitors by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Portugal is set to benefit from an upturn in foreign visitor numbers this summer, a newly-published report suggests.

While research carried out by the national Institute for Tourism Development and Planning (IPDT) notes that the number of Portuguese nationals taking a "staycation" is likely to be stunted this year, it is expected that a rise in foreign visitors will more than compensate for this.

Indeed, according to the body"s latest paper, tourism industry professionals expect to see a marked rise in foreigners, and particularly Irish, German and Brazilian tourists, heading to the country"s world-famous beaches and historic cities over the course of the summer.

It is hoped that this will cover an anticipated downturn in internal tourism revenues, with IPDT president Antonio Jorge Costa quoted by the Portugal News as saying a majority of industry leaders feel "the sector"s evolution will be sustained, above all, by the external market".

Just this week, Portugal"s secretary of state for tourism Bernardo Trindade told Bloomberg that golf and luxury resorts can play a key role in helping the national economy recover.
