As one of the most renowned events in the travel calendar, the 2012 World Travel Awards celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.

As Platinum sponsors of the Awards, Quinta do Lago are delighted to kick start proceedings ahead of the World Travel Awards Europe ceremony by hosting the Europe Golf Classic tournament on the October 6th.

Today, the World Travel Awards (WTA) brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire.

Each year WTA covers the globe with a series of regional gala ceremonies staged to recognise and celebrate individual and collective successes within each key geographical region.

Their most celebrated being the European ceremony held this year at the Conrad Algarve, which is officially open for reservations in October, and conveniently located on the outskirts of the Quinta do Lago estate.

Quinta do Lago joins additional sponsors ABTA Travel Association, TTN Worldwide, Newsweek and Breaking Travel News.

Celebrating forty years of success, Quinta do Lago is now offering the final chance to buy into its coveted portfolio of stylish homes.

Villa plots in San Lorenzo North are the last opportunity for buyers to purchase in the destination and represent the first land plots released to market since 2001.

A total of 26 plots have been made available for purchase, available from €2.3m to €3.5m.
