A closer connection with one of our key airline partners brought a group of TAP Air Portugal executives on a familiarisation trip to experience Porto and the North of Portugal first-hand. Following the announcement of new routes and plans for the region, this visit created the opportunity to align perspectives and deepen knowledge of the destination across different areas of the company.

This Fam Trip was organised in collaboration with the DMC Project Travel & Events, ensuring a well-structured and insightful programme across the region.

The group included representatives from Sales, Pricing & Revenue, Marketing, and other strategic departments, offering a comprehensive view of TAP’s operations and priorities. The visit was hosted by Cátia Barbosa, International Promotion – Leisure Coordinator at Porto and North of Portugal - Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Over several days, the itinerary combined Porto, the Douro Valley, and Guimarães, with a curated selection of experiences designed to showcase the diversity and authenticity of the region.

Special thanks to Anetours for transportation and to Mónica Nogueira for guiding the group throughout the programme, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience, as well as to the members who contributed to this initiative, including Bistrô by Vila Foz, Graham’s, Livraria Lello, Origine Porto Gaia Hotel, Palácio da Bolsa, Pipadouro, Pousada Mosteiro de Guimarães, Quinta da Pacheca, The Vintage House, and Vinum.
