PSD de Albufeira wants to rethink tourism model after hit-and-run that left 16 injured in Oura

Expresso28 August 2026 at 13:00

The PSD of Albufeira announced the intention to rethink the city's tourism model after a hit-and-run that left 16 injured in the Oura area. The incident alarmed the population and called into question the mass tourism model practiced in the region.

The social democrats propose a focus on quality over the quantity of tourists. This paradigm shift aims to create a more sustainable destination that benefits both visitors and the local community.

Security is another fundamental concern highlighted by the social democrats. Strengthening security measures in the Oura tourist area is considered essential to protect residents and tourists.

The party also proposes the recovery of public spaces for residents, aiming to return to the local population areas that are currently mostly dedicated to tourism. This measure aims to balance the needs of the community with tourism activity.
