The Secretary of State for Tourism, Commerce and Services, Nuno Fazenda, visited today the Quinta do Vale tourist resort, in Monte Francisco, parish and municipality of Castro Marim.
The visit is part of the Agenda for Inland Tourism and was also attended by the president of the Algarve Tourism Region, João Fernandes, the president of CCDR Algarve, José Apolinário, the president and member of the board of Turismo de Portugal, Luís Araújo and Carlos Abade, received by the director of Quinta do Vale, Mário Soares, and the mayor and deputy mayor of Castro Marim, Francisco Amaral and Filomena Sintra, respectively.
The Quinta do Vale development is one of the tourist projects that flow into the Guadiana River and are now getting off the ground. Presented to Turismo de Portugal as emerging realities, after more than 20 years stopped by economic constraints caused by the crisis, are Almada D’Ouro and Herdade da Corte do Velho, both in the parish of Azinhal. With new dynamics, they present themselves as real contributions to the dynamization of the inland Algarve and these banks of the Guadiana.
Along with the Verdelago development, but this one on the coast of the county, are key structures in the economic tourism development of the territory, exponentially increasing the attractiveness and competitiveness of Castro Marim in the framework of tourist destinations. The three projects will boost quality tourism and will require hundreds of jobs in the Castromarinense municipality.
