The Meeting Industry is probably the golden goose or most suitably the Most
Important Industry! It puts in motion an endless number of companies,
infrastructures, professionals and business activities in a destination thus
becoming a coveted business.
Portugal has been investing earnestly and credibly in this area, as it can been
seen by the number and quality of congress centres that were built in the
country, from the North to the South regions, including the islands; the number
of PCOs and the excellence of services rendered; the qualified offer available in
the hotel industry; or the quality of the DMCs that has safeguarded the interests
of the customers; or even the support of the Portuguese official entities to bringmajor congresses to our destination. Moreover there are the unique and non-
replicable features such as our culture, the climate, the quality of the food, the
friendliness of the people, the safety of the destination, among other aspects.
The proof that we mean business as regards to the Meeting Industry is that
Lisbon city was the 8th most popular destination in the world to host events last
year and Portugal was number 15th (9th worldwide) in the destination list. Such
is feasible only due to the competitiveness of the city and also of the
destination. For such a small country to achieve such a brilliant position on an
international level is because theres a special reason. Dont you think so?
In this edition of Portugal travel News we disclose some of those differentiating
factors and reveal our offer in the sector. To invest in Portugal is a safe stake
when it comes to customer satisfaction. Are you willing to place a bet?

Figures of GBTA in the first trimester this year show that expenses concern-
ing business tourism in the US should be 58,8 billion dollars (41,1 billion
Euros), an increase of 6.7% compared to the same period last year.
On the other hand, the total number of travel should be 109,9 millions, an
8.6% compared to 2010.
A product that is seasonability attenuatingAccording to the revision proposal of the Portuguese national strategic
plan for tourism (PENT), now under public discussion, concerning touris-
tic products, business tourism should be reinforced as an attenuating
factor for seasonability, thus being at the same level of golf and health
and wellness tourism. The product is among the ten strategic productsfor the country.
The latest data from ICCA say that in 2009 Portugal went down two positions
in the organised meetings international ranking, from 15th in 2008 to 17th,
having organised 168 events. According to the Travel Business Barometer",
a study carried out by TravelStore-American Express presented last January,
Portuguese companies or Portuguese based companies increased by 5% on
average their business travel related volume throughout 2010. The research
also revealed that This positive variation represents the average, since 9.7%
of companies mentioned the continuation of the volume of travels and
19.24% cited the reduction of the expenses related to work-related travels.
Considering destinations, Luanda registered the highest growth concerning
the volume of investment in business travels during 2010. As far as this yearis concerned, 43% of Portuguese companies hope to increase the volume of
travels this year, whereas 30% hope to sustain the same level. On the other
hand, 27% think the volume will decrease. The estimated average growth is
0.8%.
The USAAccording to data from the International Congress and Convention Associa-
tion (ICCA), the US are still number one on a world basis when it comes to
meetings hosted by international organisations. In 2009 the country wel-
comed 595 events, followed by Germany with 458. In total, ICCAs figures
show that 8,294 events took place in 2009, 800 more compared to the pre-
vious year. For the association, The number is a reflection of the strength of
the market of organisations events, despite the economic crisis.
Actually, the future of the North-American market is perceived as very posi-
tive. According to a report from Global Business Travel Association (GBTA),
the expenses associated to business travel will increase 5% this year in the
US. Last year the result was already positive with a 2.3% increase, after a
downfall of 14.1% in 2009.According to the Executive Manager and COO of the Association, Michael W.
McCormick, researches let us look towards 2011 with a cautious confidence.
The international outbound is still strong and should continue to increase until
2012, a time when North-American companies will look for opportunities in

originally Fundo Portugus de

Internacionais, has already received
14 applications, which represent
35,500 tourists, of which over
32,000 are foreign
he Fund continues to develop and up until the
present day, 14 applications have already been
received that include Lisbon, Estoril, Madeira,Alentejo, Porto and the Northern regions.
Besides the impact on the demand for services
such as congress centres, transportation, accom-
modation and food, among others, these applica-
tions represent a total of 35,500 tourists, of which over 32,000 are
foreign, mentioned a source at Turismo de Portugal, also adding
that The applications are under analysis.
This measure was approved in May last year by the Secretary of
State for Tourism, Bernardo Trindade. With an initial grant of one
million Euros (75% of which from Turismo de Portugal), the aim of
the fund is to give, and not subsidise, national applications the com-
petitive advantages, compared to other countries, to receive major

Besides, there is also the goal to increase tourism flow during low
and middle season, by attenuating seasonability. The applications
for this support mechanism will be carried out until December 31st,
2012.
In the scope of the Programa de Interveno doTurismo (PIT,
Tourism Intervention Program), the 3rd support line Aims at creat-
ing or re-qualifying the congress centres, and meets the goal
defined at PENT to develop the strategic tourism product of Busi-
ness Tourism. However, no application has been present yet
through this way. This program is designed to create and re-quali-
fy congress centres with enough size to welcome major occasions
and international events, so in such a period when its difficult to get
financing, its not unusual that the applications have not yet been
submitted, justified the same source at TP. Were waiting for some
applications as soon as the promoters consider the sustainability of
the proposals to create this type of infrastructures, he added.
The financial support is between 20% and 50% of the eligibleinvestment, to be established according to the merit of the project.
For each infrastructure, the maximum limit of financial support is 2.5
million Euros.

or the President of ICCA, despite the
financial problems, the Meetings Industry
sector was successful in the associative
market. There were no cancellations, and
there was only a decrease in some dele-
gates' meetings, but others had more
attendees. All over the world meetings
were held to discuss the economic crisis in
order to find solutions. Hence, we had
meetings resulting from the actual problems. ICCA is dedicated to the
associative market and were experts in the field. We known that thecorporate market suffered hard because of the crisis and had a major
downfall, but that was not the case for associations. So meetings can
survive and bring more business despite the bad circumstances, he
claimed.

For Arnaldo Nardone, 2011 will be a good year and the figures are
there to demonstrate it. Despite the fact that there is a huge market to
conquer, each destination will have to work harder to host those meet-
ings. As a destination, Portugal, for example, would have a good year
if it had worked hard in previous years. Associative meetings to be held
in 2011 were won about two, three, four or five years back. This is a
long term business, so everything done today will not have immediate
consequences, but will only be noticeable in 2013, 2014 or 2015.

get results.
Over the last few years, the sector has gone through some transfor-
mation. For the better, the official of ICCA lists the increase of region-
al and international meetings, thus creating an increasingly larger mar-
ket every day. For the worse, there is the fact that the market has more
and more competitors, new destinations are rising and much more will
come. In that sense, more strategic efforts are needed to get results,
he mentioned.
The President visited Portugal in March to attend the general assem-
bly of the Iberian Chapter, which took place in Estoril. During my par-
ticipation in the Iberian Chapter, I was able to experience a huge
enthusiasm, professionalism and at the same time a strong commit-
ment with group work, in order to create a great interchange of valued
info, he mentioned. Arnarldo Nardone believes that the development
of the Iberian region is in the hands of professionals since both coun-
tries have excellent infrastructures, major destinations with special
attractions, new hotels and modern and high-quality venues to host
events.In ICCAs latest report, Portugal was 15th in 2008, and dropped to the
17th place in 2009. In the opinion of Arnaldo Nardone, Portugal is not
losing its competitiveness. I believe there are many new players in the
market, new competitors, consequently, you should work more intense-
ly to fight this problem. Maybe its necessary to focus the efforts on the
regional market instead of the international market, by working as a
large big national team across the country and setting up correct
budgets for the strategic plans. Countries that go through economic

problems usually cut back on the budgets for these purposes, which isa mistake. Currently it is possible to show an immense professionalism,
but you need to have available budgets to face and conquer the mar-
ket. Local cities and national authorities have to realise that the Meet-
ing Industry does not attract only direct business concerning the actu-
al event. More importantly, there are many indirect businesses related
to the themes of the event and also a large promotion of the destina-
tion.
Currently, the official claimed, The emerging markets are thirsty for a
piece of the action and are investing a lot of money in infrastructures
and plans to get more meetings. They are here to stay. And most of
them are working intelligently; thus, these countries will have an
increasingly important role. Countries such as China and India willbecome extraordinary destinations, and they are investing a lot of
money in the business, training professionals in a very fast way. Hence,
the future will be competition and competition, theres no question
about it.

As for the business tourism sector, Miguel Tiago de Oliveira explained us that
Oceanrio de Lisboa has been cementing relationships over the years with
enterprises associated to business tourism. And in that sense, the Edifcio do
Mar will be important since the Oceanrio itself will be a matching facility. The
Mar da Palha Auditorium already has an area equipped to welcome 125 peo-
ple, host events for different audiences and it should include to the new serv-
ices of the facility as an addition to the temporary exhibition with film viewing
or theme shows, as an area to host events and a dedicated area for enter-
taining and educational activities. The venue is equipped with audio and video
system, guaranteeing the high quality to host conferences and presentations.
A long held dreamThe new building was an old dream. This long ambitioned project will allow
the Oceanrio de Lisboa to reinforce the ability to complete the mission, guar-
anteeing the economic and financial sustainability on a long term, through the
stabilisation of the number of visitors to over one million a year, reasoned the
official. To increase the level of satisfaction of visitors through new exhibitions
and to leverage a new visit are the main goals of the Oceanrio de Lisboa to
increase the national visitors rate, he added.
As for tourists, The Oceanrio wants to maintain the capture rate around
44%. In 2010, foreign tourists made up 73% of the total number of tourists.
According to the latest data, in 2008, the total number of visitors was
1,019,648, of which 686,567 were foreign. One year later, there was an
increase of 1% in the number of foreign tourists. Last year, there were
951,543 visitors, 690,529 of which were foreign.
Partnerships with operatorsOne of the strategies of the Oceanrio has been the collaboration with oper-
ators and agents. Theres a close connection with the main tour operators and
incoming agencies, since these are key elements of the advertising and sug-gestion to customers. We want to achieve win-win partnerships that promote
the Oceanrio de Lisboa in foreign markets, among the different types of cus-
tomers, general public and corporate," stated Miguel Tiago de Oliveira, adding
also that "Partnerships established with agencies, hotels and the meeting
industry are always assessed under a case by case basis, so the solution is
achieved that best suits customers and the type of action. With this news, the
oceanarium hopes to increase the demand of the aforementioned partners,
since There are many services and a larger offer for each type of client.

each meeting, explained the official. The Algarve Congress Palace is
located at Herdade dos Salgados, where we can accommodate large
groups in the CS units. The venue is located about 30 minutes from Faro
and 2 hours from Lisbon, he added.
The goal is obvious: To be the hotel group with the largest and betteroriented venue for national and international congresses. Were talking
about the largest national group of 5-star hotels that has available one
of the largest congress centres in the Iberian Peninsula, clarified Joo
Diogo Leito. The promotion for congresses is currently based in
Algarve and Madeira, which will open the path for the remaining regions,
for example, with the opening of CS Vintage Oporto in 2012, featuring a
congress centre to welcome 1,000 attendees, and also the inauguration
of a congress centre in Lisbon, which can accommodate up to 10,000
people. We want to be next to the largest and better players on an inter-
national level.
Leader in MadeiraLast year, the industry represented about 30% of business volume forthe group. In Madeira it was leader of conventions and congresses for
the third year in a row, and the achievement is now expected in the Por-
tuguese mainland. Despite the natural forces that ravaged the area, the
materialisation in the MI area was higher than that of the previous year.
In 2010, CS Madeira Congress Centre welcomed new national con-
gresses with scientific precision that highly contributed to the results
achieved," mentioned the executive manager.
As for the strategies followed in the Island and in the Mainland, there are

which will open in 2012.
The manager also informed that the events hosted in several units come
from various activities sectors such as medical congresses, pharmaceuti-
cal industry, auto industry, consultants, retail and banks.
As for the analysis of the markets, "Portugal represents about 80% and the
rest come from England, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.
some differences, for example, The national market for the Algarve has
no need for air transport and we have units equipped for welcoming
large groups that are only 1 hour away for major cities. On the other
hand, the frequency of the flights to Madeira is not at all a hindrance to
host major events in our unit, which is still the leader on the island, men-
tioned Joo Diogo Leito.
As for the international market, The Algarve is the region with the high-
est season peak in the leisure sector; therefore, we have to carry out
major work on the MI area. The seasonability provides nonetheless an
opportunity to consider that the product already exists and is in plain
sight of the client, who can return and host his/her events in one of our
venues."
Three-area centred offerAccording to Joo Diogo Leito, the offer of CS Hotels is currently
based in three areas. In the Algarve, at So Rafael Atlntico Hotel, with
an auditorium for 484 people and 16 multifunctional rooms, CS Salga-
dos Grande Hotel, for 1,650 attendees, including 37 multifunctionalrooms; in Madeira, an auditorium for 396 people, including 7 multifunc-
tional rooms; and Montargil, that has 2 rooms/auditoriums to welcome
220 attendees each, and 3 other multifunctional rooms.
Soon In May well increase our capacity after the opening of CS Algarve
Palace Hotel, which includes an auditorium for 350 people and several
multifunctional rooms, and the CS Vintage Oporto, that can accommo-
date 1,000 congress attendees and has several multifunctional rooms,
