What is “ALLGARVE 2009”?
ALLGARVE is an integrated event-promotion and planning programme which focuses on lifestyle, glamour and the cosmopolitan spirit to make lifetime experiences possible for all those who participate in them.
This programme will be promoted inside Portugal as well as abroad, bringing in those tourists who are interested in tapping into the energy and spirit of the events.
 
Why has the “ALLGARVE” programme begun?
The Algarve has long enjoyed its traditional notoriety abroad as a destination for sun and sea. The development of resources surrounding golf has made for increased appreciation of all that the Algarve has on offer.
We are on the cutting-edge of an opportunity that seeks to add more value to what we have on offer by proposing a series of glamorous events that can draw tourists to Portugal in search of an appealing, cosmopolitan, dynamic and sophisticated lifestyle.
 
How does “ALLGARVE” relate to the Algarve region?
“ALLGARVE” event programming will endeavour to build up the Algarve as an excellent tourist destination, attractive for its high-quality events.
The “ALLGARVE” initiatives will promote the Algarve region in particular and Portugal as a whole. Thus, visitors to the Algarve will enjoy moments of delightful contact with the country, experiencing the diversity of our culture and leaving with the longing to return.
 
What are the objectives of the “ALLGARVE” programme?
- Create something significantly different from the other international tourism alternatives that offer Sun & Sea and Golf.
- Create new opportunities that will bring added value to our current tourists.
- Attract tourists who have a bigger available income.
- Increase tourists traffic in general.
 
How long will “ALLGARVE” run?
Events are planned for the entire summer of 2008, starting out at the beginning of May and running until the end of October.
 
Where does “ALLGARVE” take place?
The entire province of the Algarve will take part, with any particular location having been specially selected based on the type of event to be staged, allowing for maximum visibility and easy access for the tourism crowd as well as local attendance.
