Tourism Can Help the U.S. Economy From Portugal
“Tourism can help the U.S. economy from Portugal,” said Allan Katz began in the Tourism and Security seminar, sponsored by the PSP, which will take place in Gaia.
For the ambassador, “unlike all other efforts by the government and the private sector, this is probably the only area in Portugal’s economy can grow without having to spend more money.”
Kenta explained that “there is already an infrastructure for a thriving tourism industry and not look beyond the city itself where we are.”
“They have a large airport, a remarkable and beautiful river community, and his travels DouroAzul, wineries and many other things which need not be changed. The only thing that changed is the number of people to visit, “he said.
However, he regretted that “most Americans know nothing about Portugal,” while “the biggest problem is that most of the information in Portugal, which goes to the U.S. goes to the Portuguese communities in America, “that” we know that there has come to Portugal and all information received from countries.”
Speaking about the potential of Portugal as a tourist destination, noted that “when an American travels to Europe for a number of things that are very important.”
“They come to Europe to see old things, good food and good wine,” all things “Portugal,” justice.
He added, “Still want to feel safe and Portugal is perhaps the safest country in Europe for Americans.” “Many Americans who travel abroad to see and avoid places where demonstrations of violence, although in countries like Greece normally. Also avoid sharing turbulent world, because they do not understand, such as Egypt and the Middle East, “he said.
Therefore, “the country with the best deals for Americans is Portugal,” which presents “a great product to sell.” As an example, said that Portugal could double the 250,000 American tourists per year, only in Florida, “which has 18 million people.”
