Algarve
Algarve, Portugal’s most popular destination and southernmost region, finds itself at a crossroads in its regional tourism development. Its coastal regions are threatened by overcrowding in the popular summer months, while in rural areas, villages are slowly dying. Tourism brings many (mostly poorly paid) jobs, which causes worker shortages in other sectors. And with economic performance strongly affected by the seasonality of tourism, the Algarve as destination faces significant challenges.
In our Algarve destination report we take a close look at its tourism development opportunities and challenges.
Barcelona
Barcelona, the Catalan capital and second largest city in Spain, does not need much of an introduction. Hugely popular as a tourist destination, Barcelona has been in the global spotlight also as an example of destination overcrowding. In our Barcelona Sustainable Destination Report, find out how the city’s tourism leaders and managers are addressing the issue and establishing Barcelona as a point of reference in sustainable destination development and management.
