Did you know that...? Portugal is the only country in Google´s Tourism council

Anticipating future trends and promoting reflection on tourism is the goal of Google's International Travel Advisor.

Portugal's first participation in Google's international tourism council took place on May 14 and brought together some of the world's top executives and "players" related to tourism, hospitality and travel.

This invitation from Google is the recognition of Portugal as an "example of innovation" in the sector worldwide.

The increase in the visibility of Portugal in the world in terms of tourism is also highlighted in the number of articles on the country in the international press, which rose from 15 thousand in 2015 to 33 thousand in 2017. Another reflection of this increased visibility as a tourist destination is 12,151 international prizes won by Portugal, among them the World's Leading Tourism Destination, won in 2017 at the World Travel Awards, awards known as the 'Oscars of Tourism'.
