To show how the Algarve is a lot more than sunny beaches and blue skies, the regional tourism board (RTA) will be promoting local food and wines at the BTL Tourism Fair in Lisbon, taking place between March 12 and 16.
Keen to demonstrate how tourists can be won over by mouth-watering gastronomy, the RTA plan a number of culinary demonstrations and wine tastings throughout the event – with the spotlight centred on the Mediterranean Diet, recently given World Intangible Heritage status by UNESCO.
Various top-class chefs will be showcasing dishes that make up the diet, all of them featuring the Algarve’s bread, olive oil, wine and dried fruits.
The RTA will use the show to present their upgraded promo-website www.visitalgarve.pt as well as a new App for tablets and smartphones carrying the authority’s most recent news and updates.
