August is coming to an end, which for many Portuguese people marks the end of the summer holiday period. In the Algarve, a region traditionally sought out for vacations, tourists are beginning to return home after enjoying their days of rest.
Algarvian business owners are taking stock of the month of August, which represents a crucial period for the region's tourism sector. This assessment comes at the end of the high tourism season in the Algarve.
According to the article, the month of August brought a decrease in the number of domestic tourists who visited the Algarve. This decline in the domestic market represented a loss for tourism professionals in the region.
However, this reduction in Portuguese visitors was offset by a significant increase in foreign tourists who chose the Algarve for their summer holidays.
