"Welcome to Lagoa" is the new
campaign launched on 20 August at Fatacil.
With this campaign, the council aims to promote tourism in the municipality
after two years of the pandemic that affected the region and the tourism
sector.
"The pandemic has taught us that it
is important that in the future we can diversify our economy so that we are
less dependent on this activity, but we are all aware that in the short and
medium term this is not possible. Tourism will continue to be our main business
activity and we have to work hard to promote the best we have", said the
Mayor of Lagoa, Luís Encarnação, minutes before the start of the presentation
that took place at the stand of Lagoa Council in Fatacil.
5-star
hotels
Besides the attractive beaches and golf
courses, the mayor said that in Lagoa there are no three-star hotels, "we
only have four and five-star hotels. We have high quality wines, we are pleased
to welcome those who visit us and we have a fantastic coastline. All together,
we have all the ingredients for Lagoa to be a perfect location," he added.
All this makes Lagoa a municipality of "great
beauty, very well preserved, and with enormous harmony. These are the reasons
why Lagoa attracts the best tourists to its territory”.
The video launched by the council
features a local family from the municipality as its main actors and for the
mayor it has a special meaning: "This video is a special project:
promoting Lagoa with the residents of Lagoa".
Fatacil, which began on 19 August,
will continue until 28 August, with music, exhibitions, trade, food and drink
for the whole family.

That should be done in all areas of Portugal. The cheap tourism that Ryan Air and Easyjet brings to the country adds zero value to the quality of life for the Portuguese or to Portugal. They put an immense burden on the infrastructure and resources of the country for minimal return. "Walmart type /low cost tourism is destructive to the country and the only winners are the low cost airlines. The amount of water , electricity, sewage etc. increases exponentially at the expense of the citizens of Portugal, the real tax payers. Low cost tourism should be discouraged as much as possible.
