More than 30.8 million arrivals were recorded at accommodation establishments in Portugal in 2023. This figure surpassed the pre-pandemic values of 2019 and was the highest ever recorded. Tourism development in Portugal The tourism industry makes a significant contribution to Portugal’s economy. As the country came out of recession and tourism began to increase, the Portuguese government launched a ten-year plan to boost the number of overnight stays by 2027. Although figures showed a positive trend in both international and domestic tourism annually, there were still challenges that needed to be surpassed. For instance, arrivals from the United Kingdom, Portugal’s main travel market before Brexit, slowed down due to this political event, giving rise to Spain as the main tourist partner of Portugal. Portugal’s popularity From a tourism perspective, Portugal benefits from both urban and resort destinations. Tourism demand is highest in the city destinations of Lisbon and Porto, plus coastal destinations such as the Algarve and the island of Madeira. However, occupancy rates in Lisbon and Porto did not rank among the leading ten for city destinations in Europe as of 2022.

Abstract This article presents a critical reading of the text "Best in Travel 2015: Top 10 cities" and its translation to Brazilian Portuguese, both published online in 2014 by one of the world's largest tourism publishing houses, Lonely Planet. The study aims at revising some of the characteristics of the ongoing tourism discourse through an analysis of the network of people and practices involved in these publications, their textual features and images. The theoretical/analytical framework used includes Critical Discourse Analysis and a corpus-based tool used to interpret different aspects of this tourism discourse. The places advertised as "Top 10" are presented to an exclusive audience that must have digital literacy, economic power and the will to consume fetish-like, or "gourmetized" products.
Greater Lisbon, in Portugal, has been a booming region for tourism. In 2024, tourism profit in the region was over *********** euros. Hotels were responsible for generating almost *** billion euros in profit, while *** million euros were obtained from local lodgings. The remaining ** million euros were housing and rural tourism (TER and TH) profits. Lisbon receives the most guests in Portugal and nationals dominate The capital city of Portugal and its metropolitan area were, in 2024, the most visited region by international tourists in Portugal. The total number of guests in the region of Lisbon, both national and international, surpassed *** million, the majority of which stayed at hotel accommodations. The Portuguese composed the greatest part of Lisbon’s touristic guests, having recorded more than **** million visitors in 2024. Guests originating from the United States totaled over ******* in the same period, while Spain was the country of origin of around ******* guests. Overnight visitors in Lisbon prefer hotel establishments The number of overnight stays in the region of Greater Lisbon was over **** million in 2024. Of these, only ****** overnight stays occurred in rural and housing tourism establishments, which demonstrates that this is a niche market in the region. Still, this type of overnight stay still generated *** million euros in profit in 2024. Nevertheless, the dominance of hotels in regard to profit from overnight stays is clear, as this type of establishment was accountable for over **** billion euros in profit during the same period.
In 2023, it was estimated that more than ********* Brazilians were living outside Brazil. The United States had the largest community, with over ********* Brazilian citizens. Portugal was the second country with the largest Brazilian community, namely ******* citizens. Brazilians abroad The Brazilian community sought economic opportunities in the United States in the 1980s, leading to the establishment of communities in New York and Boston. Facilitated by the common language and Portugal's favorable laws for the Community of Portuguese-speaking countries, Lisbon became the most popular destination in Europe. This city harbors more than ****** Brazilians, with women making up the majority of these. Immigration in Brazil Although more than ********* Brazilians live outside of Brazil, the country has had a positive migration rate since 2010, meaning that more people are arriving than leaving. One factor contributing to this is the current humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, which has increased the number of refugees arriving in Brazil each year.
