The Algarve in southern Portugal has unveiled a new promotional video to highlight its pledge to welcome back visitors safely.

The campaign has been launched following a series of strict measures put in place to ensure all visitors and locals can visit the region with confidence.

It showcases what the region has to offer its visitors, from sandy beaches, beautiful weather, outdoor activities, culture and amazing cuisine.

Restaurants have reopened with a 50 per cent capacity reduction, allowing visitors to enjoy the rich seafood-based gastronomy of the region.

Shops, museums, and workshops have also reopened for visitors, allowing them to discover the extraordinary culture and heritage of this part of Portugal.

João Fernandes, president of the Algarve Tourism Board, said: “The region is prepared to receive tourists and visitors, on its beaches and inland.

“It will be the duty of all of us, from tour operators to citizens, to comply with the rules of access, individual protection measures and safety distances.

“We are looking forward to hosting visitors again and confident to welcome them safely.”
