The US magazine chose Portugal due to the economic growth registered in the country and the diversity of the landscape

Travel + Leisure magazine announced in Óbidos, in a live video published on Facebook, that Portugal is considered to be the destination of 2016. The publication praises the country's young entrepreneurs, who recovered the country when it was on the verge of bankruptcy and the change in national politics , Which calmed the general moods. "In the wake of the crisis, Portugal managed to flourish again," they say.

The magazine believes that this situation of economic deficit may have even helped the country's tourism industry, as it continues to be much cheaper for travelers than the neighboring countries. When it chooses the destination of the year, Travel + Leisure looks for exciting places that justify the discovery and stand out on the international stage. This year, they consider that "Portugal is a naturally fit country".

The new cultural scene, the increase in the number of foreign tourists, new hotels and flights, with direct links to various cities in the United States, were some of the factors that the publication highlighted, as well as easy accessibility, mild temperatures, the abundant natural resources and rich heritage.
