The staggering number of tourists to Portugal over the last year is up 464.1%, which isn't all that surprising considering the lovely weather, and laid-back lifestyle of the Portuguese, but factored in with pandemic regulations, it is a doubly huge number. Visitors from Ireland were marked at 40K guests in 2022, which is the 10th-largest number of visitors to enter Portugal.
The 2024 IPBN Tourism Conference did more than just bring together some of the top minds from Ireland and Portugal's tourism sectors together, it highlighted synergies and strategies that emboldened new players to work toward a common goal.
