Portugal lauded at the World Travel Awards

Lisbon

Published on 9th December, 2020

For the fourth year running, Portugal has secured the title of 'Europe’s Leading Destination' at the 2020 World Travel Awards, which took place virtually for the first time due to COVID-19.

And according to judges Lisbon was distinguished as the Best City Break Destination in the world and the Algarve as the Best Beach Destination in the world.

World Travel Awards was established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.

Today, the WTA brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire.

Considered the Oscars for tourism, the World Travel Awards votes are cast by travel industry professionals and the public, with the nominee gaining the most votes in a category named as the winner.

On hearing about the plethora of awards for Portugal, Rita Marques, the Secretary of State for Tourism said: “winning despite all the constraints shows that we have managed to preserve the reputation and fame of our destinations.”

“We have shown to the world that we are a safe country, ready to welcome everyone as soon as it will be possible. A big thank-you to all the Portuguese who have contributed towards Portugal continuing to be up there with the best,” she added.
