FOREIGN TOURISM TO PORTUGAL BEATS PRE-COVID RECORD IN 2023




Official data released on Wednesday revealed that the number of foreign tourists visiting Portugal reached a record high of over 18 million in 2023. This marked a significant 19% increase compared to the previous year and an 11% rise compared to the pre-pandemic year of 2019.

According to the National Statistics Institute, a total of 18.3 million foreign visitors stayed in Portuguese hotels and other tourist accommodations last year. Spain and Britain emerged as the two largest sources of arrivals, closely followed by the United States. While Portugal experienced a surge in tourism, the United Nations' World Tourism Organization anticipates that global tourism will only fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic by 2024.
