CASCAIS, PORTUGAL – SEPTEMBER 06: Burger King signs are seen at the local fast food restaurant on September 06, 2022 in Cascais, Portugal. The number of foreign tourists visiting the country has surpassed during last July COVID-19 pandemic levels. According to Rita Marques, Portuguese Secretary of State for Tourism, Trade and Services, July has seen record tourist numbers, and it has been the hotel sector’s best July ever in terms of overnight stays and guest numbers. Preliminary calculations from the national statistics institute INE show that the number of hotel guests increased from July 2019 by 6.3 percent and 4.8 percent in terms of overnight stays. Rita Marques also emphasized that these figures once again showed that the tourism sector is a vital part of Portuguese economy. The market’s share of overseas holidaymakers was 41.3 percent in July 2021, but in July 2022 went up to 66.3 percent, a percentage that shows that the Portuguese tourism market has bounced back to normal.
