PSD is calling for a new tourism model for Albufeira that will "reinvent" the city. The party considers it necessary to change the way tourism is practiced and managed in the municipality.
The request comes after a hit-and-run incident in the Oura area, which reportedly served as a catalyst for this political position. The incident reportedly highlighted the tensions between tourism activity and the local community.
PSD advocates for tourism that is "more qualified and respectful of the local community". This position reflects growing concern about the impact that mass tourism can have on Albufeira's residents.
The party thus intends to drive a paradigm shift in the region's tourism sector, promoting a model that balances economic needs with the quality of life of the local population.
