Three days, 40 meetings and one clear message from the French market: Porto and the North of Portugal is already well established among travel professionals, but there is strong demand for new ideas, experiences and local partners to bring fresh perspectives to their programmes.

Represented by Gonçalo Castro, Market Manager at Porto and North of Portugal - Convention & Visitors Bureau, our participation at IFTM Top Resa included meetings with French travel agencies and tour operators specialising in tailor-made travel for independent travellers, as well as luxury tourism. Nautical tourism, sports tourism, city breaks and cultural tourism were among the areas generating the greatest interest.

Throughout the three-day event, we also connected with airlines, media and marketing companies interested in exploring future visibility initiatives with the destination.

A special thank you to our members FeelViana, HF Hotels, Hotel Cristal, Axis Hotéis, Pinhal Tour and Turim Hotels for joining us at IFTM Top Resa and contributing to the promotion of Porto and the North of Portugal in the French market.
