North Americans drive tourism growth in Portugal

The demand for Portugal from North American tourists continues to grow consistently, consolidating the country as one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe.
According to the Portuguese Tourism Confederation (CTP), despite the economic uncertainties in the United States, the trend of increasing demand for travel to the country remains solid. Portugal is currently the second most desired destination for North Americans, reflecting the growing popularity of the destination among US tourists.
Tourism for all tastes
Although the economic outlook in the US, especially with Donald Trump’s protectionist policies, may raise concerns about a slowdown, CTP remains optimistic. Alentejo and other regions of Portugal should continue to attract tourists, especially North Americans, in 2025.
Portugal’s combination of climate, history, cuisine and culture has been a key factor in this surge in interest.
The growth of tourism and the growing interest from foreign investors open doors to many opportunities. Take the opportunity to learn more about how to obtain the Golden Visa or speed up your process. Contact us and find out how we can help you make your European dream come true.
