Group CEO Roger Allen and Paul Sawford, Hospitality Consultant & Tourism Development, are spearheading a market analysis project.

Porto and Nova di Gaia have emerged as vibrant hotspots for hospitality and residential development in recent years. The region's appeal stems from a unique blend of factors:

  • Rich Cultural Heritage: The area is renowned for its famous wine region and the picturesque Douro Valley.
  • Expanding Hospitality Sector: The hotel industry in Porto continues to show impressive growth.
  • Residential Development: Nova di Gaia, situated across the river from Porto, is experiencing a surge in residential projects.
  • International Investment: The region is increasingly attracting attention from global investors, drawn by its potential and charm.

This on-site analysis aligns with our recent findings on the broader Southern European hospitality market. In our article "Southern Europe: A Fast-Growing Frontier in Hospitality," we explored the region's stellar performance in 2023 and its promising outlook for 2024. Porto and Nova di Gaia exemplify the trends we identified, showcasing the area's potential for both travelers and investors.
