About us - Visit Covilhã

Introduction

Portugal has consistently broken all records with regard to the number of tourists who decide to visit our country, as well as the revenues generated by the sector. In recent years, the solid growth registered by the number of international arrivals, has contributed to the consolidated reputation in the international markets.

The Municipality of Covilhã, which integrates the Tourism Entity and the Regional Tourism Promotion Agency of the Center of Portugal, consciously recognizes the need to reformulate and stimulate the development of the economic potential of tourism in the County.

To this end, it decided to initiate an initiative that will allow the promotion and tourist information on the whole offer that the municipality of Covilhã has to be made autonomously and with greater agility and proximity to the players: economic agents, tourists and visitors who elect us as a destination.
