The Portugal Events incentive scheme has a budget of 10 million euros to support events in 2023 and 2024.
Applicable to the whole of Portugal, this Turismo de Portugal incentive scheme targets events which, due to their positioning and visibility, contribution to the creation of territorial dynamics, diversification of the tourist experience and consequent dispersion in space and time, boost local economies (particularly in Low Density Territories) or promote the international projection of the country and its regions.
The overall budget will be divided equally between 2023 and 2024. The funds are intended to support events whose scale makes them a catalyst for attracting tourists and which simultaneously enhance the assets and resources of Portugal and its regions. In this respect, inland regions will benefit from a clear policy of positive discrimination.
Events associated with the development of strategic tourism products (Strategic Tourism Events) as well as associative or corporate events not consolidated in the calendar of events of the territories where they take place, such as Congresses, Seminars or Meetings, are eligible.
