Portugal Tourism Revenue is up

In the first quaurter of 2018 Portugals tourism revenue rose by +/-14%
The bank of Portugal released figures showing that money generated by tourism increased to 6.9 billion euros. June also saw an increase to 1.4B euros which is an increase of more than 13% on last year.
It may have seemed that there were fewer people in the Algarve at the start of the year but that didn't hold back the spending with the revenue growing five times more than the number of guests!
