Algarve tipped for multiple Portugal Travel Awards
The Algarve is tipped for multiple Portugal Travel Awards this year, with the cherry on the cake being “Best National Tourism Destination”, reports tourism newspaper Publituris.
This far the region has been nominated for ‘Best Five-Star Hotel’ (Conrad Algarve), ‘Best Four-Star Hotel’ (Vila Galé Lagos) and ‘Best Three-Star Hotel’ (Luna Alvor Bay), as well as five nominations for ‘Best Resort Hotel’ and another five for ‘Best Golf Course’.
The University of the Algarve is also in the running for a prize for its tourism courses.
It all depends on the voting, led by a jury (60% of votes) but helped along by Publituris newsletter readers (40%).
