Albufeira bands together to improve how it promotes itself
Reflecting on the current state of tourism sector, finding new strategies to promote the Albufeira brand and creating partnerships between associates and local entities are some of the main goals of new working group created by the Agency of Albufeira Promotion (APAL).
