RT do Centro: optimism with the national and spanish market

The President of the Tourism Centre of Portugal (RTC) announced in Seia that the “Clean and Safe” label is already present in practically 55% of tourist units and entities in the Centro region, as accommodations, restaurantes, tourist animation companies, agências de viagens, tourist offices and museums.

Remember that the seal “Clean and Safe” results from a certification process of Turismo de Portugal and aims to transmit greater confidence to tourists.

Which means that there is an expressed willingness on the part of businessmen to comply with all health rules to adapt to this new time that the covid-19 brought.

Regarding the movement of tourists in accommodation units in the region, Pedro Machado said he recorded some cases of high demand in accommodation units in rural areas, in Historic Villages and in Schist Villages. And he gave as an example, the fact that on 10 e 11 de junho, many units recorded occupancy rates of 100%.

– The available indicators suggest that, especially from the day 15 de julho, when the school exam season is over, the Portuguese can make holidays within their own country and that the Spaniards, as you begin to notice, also come to the Center of Portugal.

Segundo Pedro Machado, residents in the province of Castile and Leon who have a huge predisposition to the sea, causes some beaches like Figueira da Foz, Aveiro and Nazaré are today popular ocean beaches, where there are already movements of Spaniards.
