It emphasizes balancing tourism growth with the needs of local residents, ensuring positive contributions to the city’s economic, social, and cultural development. The plan includes expanding tourism offerings beyond the historic center to areas like the “Quarteirão das Artes” in Miguel Bombarda and the alleys in Foz Velha. It also highlights the importance of community engagement, involving local entities and stakeholders in tourism planning and promotion. The vision includes a long-term strategy with strategic partnerships to position Porto as a leader in sustainable tourism, and it encourages open collaboration with residents, visitors, and investors to continuously improve and adapt the tourism strategy.
