Portugal is one of the Europe’s oldest countries becoming an independent nation in 1143 and a republic in 1910. Located at the Southwest corner of Continental Europe it is easily accessible by direct flights from the Eastern seaboard of the United States and by connecting service from every major gateway. Indeed, Portugal’s envious location makes it a perfect choice for international meetings and incentives.

One of the words greatest seafaring nations, Portugal came into prominence during the XVI century’s Age of Discovery. It was the first nation to discover the Atlantic routes to India, to Brazil and to China. At the same time the country established ties with both the east and western coasts of Africa. Portugal has therefore left behind evidence of its language and its culture in many places. At once spontaneous and generous, the Portuguese also opened themselves up to new cultures and made important contributions to Europe and the world.

Through its medieval castles, churches and cathedrals, its fortresses and its palaces, Portugal gradually reveals its long and rich history. In hotels, Pousadas, mansions and manor houses the hospitable people of Portugal entertain with both tradition and sophistication. For such a small country, Portugal’s sheer variety of landscapes is surprising and also captivating; it is blessed with gentle sunshine for the whole year round, and is bordered from south to north by the clean blue waters of the ocean.

Portugal is a paradise. Centuries of history, modern shopping, challenging golf courses, sandy beaches and port towns, acclaimed cuisine are just the beginning. The real heart of Portugal is the people. Warm, friendly, helpful and caring, this is the Portuguese people of today and tomorrow.
