The diversity of our guests shows Portugal’s global appeal. While local travelers remain strong, international markets are steadily growing. Our top 5 guest nationalities this summer were:
- Portugal – Domestic tourism continues to thrive, with locals exploring new corners of their own country.
- Germany – A consistent market, with guests often looking for longer stays and coastal escapes.
- United Kingdom – British travelers return in force, seeking sun, sea, and authentic Portuguese culture.
- Spain – Proximity makes Portugal a favorite quick getaway for our neighbors.
- France – French travelers add to the cosmopolitan mix, particularly in Lisbon and Porto.
- USA – A growing market, with visitors eager to experience Portugal’s unique blend of history, gastronomy, and landscapes.
What This Means
These numbers highlight Portugal’s balanced tourism ecosystem: locals keeping the flow steady and international visitors bringing cultural diversity and economic growth. It also reinforces the need for well-managed, high-quality properties to meet the demand — from city apartments for digital nomads to villas on the coast for families.
Looking Ahead
With September and October extending the holiday season, especially along the coast and in the wine regions, we expect to see continued interest from both European and overseas travelers.
Whether you’re a property owner looking to make the most of your investment or a traveler planning your next stay, these numbers prove one thing: Portugal remains one of Europe’s most attractive destinations.
