In February 2025, the tourism sector reached a historic milestone: the IPDT Tourism Barometer recorded 85.2 points, the highest value since the index was created in 2006. This figure reflects a clear trend — tourism in Portugal is growing steadily, even in the face of a challenging global landscape.
The forecasts for Easter 2025 confirm this optimism: 66% of experts expect an increase in revenue from international markets, and almost half anticipate more overnight stays compared to the previous year. Portugal is also strengthening its position as a leading destination for business tourism, valued for its safety, quality of service, climate, and excellent value for money.
But there’s a new factor every hotel must consider: the guest profile has changed.
Today, travelers expect more. They want simplicity, speed, personalization, and — above all — to feel welcomed even before they reach the front desk.
