The Algarve region in southern
Portugal has been highlighted as a good option for keen golfers planning a getaway over the winter months.
Hugo Nascimento, sun and sea product manager at the Algarve Promotion Bureau, noted that the destination offers ongoing warm weather while temperatures are falling in northern Europe.
The year so far has brought good results for the region, with a particularly strong increase in British visitor numbers.
'We still have [a temperature of] about 20 to 23 degrees more or less and the Algarve is a very popular golf destination for winter, so we have a lot of tourists [coming],' Mr Nascimento said at World Travel Market 2011 in
London.
The spokesman also highlighted some of the attractions on offer to travellers visiting southern Portugal, such as the racing track in Portimao, where members of the public can have a go at driving Porsches, Ferraris and other fast cars.
People looking for outdoor experiences can try activities such as waterskiing, sailing, surfing and trekking.
