11 new PIN projects signal boom time for the Algarve
Since 2005, the Agência Portuguesa para o Investimento (API), the Portugese agency for investment, has awarded chosen development projects in Portugal the PIN seal (Projecto de Potencial Interesse Nacional). The PIN award means that certain projects are distinguished as Projects of National Interest and are categorised within the six tourism sectors as identified by the Portuguese Strategic Plan for National Tourism (PENT) as Douro (vineyards), Oeste (Atlantic beaches), Litoral Alentejano (nature reserves), Serra da Estrela (snow/mountains), Alqueva (historic sites), and Porto Santo (moderate climate and therapeutic sands). These categories give a range and breadth to the type of developments that are encouraged by the government and in turn add to the impact that PIN developments have on the Portuguese tourism sector.
