    CRUISE TOURISM IN PORTUGAL PIANC Mediterranean Days Emílio Brògueira Dias Helena Fernandes Marta Sá Lemos Marseille, France May 2013 _____________________________________________________________PIANC Mediterranean Days THE CRUISE INDUSTRY The Cruise industry represents, worldwide, one of the sectors with the highest growth rates. In the previous decade, it has grown at an annual rate of 8%. The Cruise Industry has been immune to the complex economic crises that have crossed the world, such as the Oil crisis of the 80s, 90s Iraq War, September 11 at the beginning of the new century and the current financial crisis. For the first time, in 2011, the number of people around the world who took a cruise reached 20 million. The numbers increased from 18.7 million to 20.6 million between 2010 and 2011, a growth of 10 %, which represents more 2 million cruise passengers.

The growth potential of this activity is in fact very high. America: North America and Caribbean Europe: Mediterranean; Atlantic Coast and North Europe The main markets were North America (11.5 million) and Europe (6.2 million), and the forecasts point to continue this increase, with the European market recording the highest growth. In 2011, 41 cruise lines were domiciled in Europe, operating 120 cruise ships and another 76 vessels were deployed in Europe by 25 non-European lines.

  • A Short History of the British Factory House in Lisbon1

    A Short History of the British Factory House in Lisbon1

    A Short History of the British Factory House in Lisbon1 Reprinted from the 10th Annual Report of the British Historical Association - 1946 Kindly transcribed from the original Report by the Society’s Librarian, Dani Monteiro, maintaining the original grammar of the article. By Sir Godfrey Fisher, K. C. M. G It is a curious and regrettable fact that so little information is available about those trading communities, or factories, which developed independently of control or assistance from their home country and yet played such an important part not only in our commercial expansion but in our naval predominance at the time when the distant Mediterranean suddenly became the great strategic battle-ground - the “Keyboard of Europe”. Thanks to the ability and industry of Mr. A. R. Walford we now have a picture of the great British Factory at the vital port of Lisbon during the latter part of its history.2 Of the earlier part, which is “shrouded in obscurity” I would venture to place on record a few details which have attracted my attention while trying to find out something about the history of our early consuls who were originally chosen, if not actually appointed, by them to be their official spokesmen and chief executives. An interesting but perhaps characteristic feature of these establishments, or associations, for that is probably a more accurate description, is that they were not legal entities at all and their correct official designation seems to have been the “Consul and the Merchants” or the “Consul and the Factors”. The consul himself on the other hand had an unquestionable legal status, decided more than once in the Spanish courts in very early times, and was established by, or under authority from, royal patents.

    Global Hotel Network ® - Welcome to the World of Global Hospitality ® Page 1 of 4 Global Hotel Network® GHN EMEA Market Report Global Hotel Network ® Market Report: Lisbon Date posted: September 2007 Pedro Rosa Manager, Real Estate & Tourism Division Deloitte, Lisbon Global Hospitality Resources®, Inc., asked Pedro Rosa, Manager, Real Estate & Tourism Division, Deloitte (Lisbon), to provide an Lapa Palace update on Lisbon's hospitality market. He reports: Beyond Lisbon’s Seven Hills Lisbon is the most western capital of Europe and the largest city of Portugal. Lisbon is known as the “city of the Seven Hills” and is bathed by the Tagus River. Its municipality, which matches the city proper excluding the larger continuous conurbation, has a municipal population of 564.477, while the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in total has around 2,8 millions inhabitants. Due to its economic output, standard of living, and market size, the Greater Lisbon sub-region is among the major financial and economic centres of the Iberian Peninsula. It is also the political centre of the country, as seat of Government and residence of the Head of State. Among Lisbon’s most popular attractions are the historic buildings and monuments, result of a cultural heritage spanning nine centuries of history, inspiring City Short Breaks and Cultural touring. The heart of the city is the Baixa, which is being considered for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Besides the cultural heritage and the architecture richness, the Lisbon region, as a whole, provides an enormous variety of other leisure experiences for tourists, such as numerous golf courses, a wonderful nature landscape and a breathtaking Atlantic coast, allied to a pleasant climate, which invites to know its wonderful beaches.

Lisbon is a dream destination for foodies! Parts of the town will always be surprisingly hilly, however. Some of these streets have tram lines, potholes and an absence of designated bicycle lanes, so if you plan to cycle, you should be used to urban riding. Car drivers are now more often weekend cyclists and careful with cyclists, more than before. Riding on the footpaths is not recommended. Get advice at local bikeshops. There are nice and safe stretches from Baixa to Belem along the beautiful river Tejo water front known as the Poetry Bike Lane. Good spots for anyone to cycle safe are along the flat riverfront area streching from Parque das Nacoes, to the central area of Cais Sodre, where you can rent bikes. Just outside of Lisbon, you can take a free bike but often in poor condition and limited offer on trains or ferries along the coast from Estoril towards the beautiful beach of Guincho, reach Sintra , Cascais or Costa da Caparica.
