UK & Irish MICE buyers invited to Algarve virtual Destination Showcase

The Algarve Tourism Bureau is inviting UK & Irish MICE buyers to join them at their free virtual Destination Showcase on 9 February 2021. The event will provide an opportunity for buyers to meet with destination experts, hotels and venues, plus DMCs in a series of one-2-one virtual meetings pre-selected by the participants. The Algarve in southern Portugal is a popular host destination not just for leisure trips, but for conferences, meetings, incentives and product launches, with many contemporary conference facilities and venues complementing the traditional feel of this historic region. During the virtual event Alexandra Ramos, Senior MICE manager at Algarve Tourism Bureau will offer an introductory presentation of the region for MICE buyers. Participating hotels and venues include Algarve Race Resort Hotel & Apartments, AP Hotels & Resorts, Be Live Hotels, Conrad Algarve, Hilton Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago Resort, Real Hotels Group and Vila Galé Hotels. DMCs include XPTO Events and DMC, Abreu Events, EVENTTEAM, Domitur Viagens e Turismo and MTS Globe Portugal. Applications for online registration can be made HERE  and buyers can participate all day, or just in the morning or afternoon. The Algarve enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and has had low coronavirus rates partly due to strict set protocols for MICE businesses, according to the tourism bureau, and is part of the local ‘Clean & Safe Campaign’.
