Portugal’s tourism industry is experiencing significant growth due to a visa-free travel policy which applies to citizens from 64 countries, including Schengen nations, the US, UK, and Canada. The country’s inclusion in the Schengen Area, which allows for hassle-free travel between member nations, has also contributed to increasing its appeal as a prime international travel destination. This success complements a record year of travel and infrastructure investments, helping establish Portugal’s standing in the global travel industry.
