During 2014 the Azores will be a “Preferred Destination” of The European Travel Agents’ and Tour Operators’ Associations (ECTAA).

With this recognition, the Azores will benefit from “more support regarding information and promotional material, more projection in ECTAA website, newsletters, public presentations and other events,” said Vítor Fraga, Regional Secretary of Tourism. 

“Is this kind of support and recognition that can help us making the tourism in the Azores even more sustainable”, adds Fraga. During 2014, the Azores will have an open agenda with many offerings. This recognition also helps to promote the archipelago “as a quality tourist destination”.'
