Tourism in Portugal has evolved significantly since the 1950s, initially focusing on the Algarve coast, Lisbon, and Fátima.

This sector is now crucial for diversifying tourism offerings and revitalizing local economies.

Rural tourism encompasses various forms, including ecotourism, wine tourism, and agritourism, allowing visitors to connect with nature and local traditions. The architecture of these hotels emphasizes sustainability, often using local materials like stone and wood, and incorporating traditional elements with modern designs to enhance the visitor experience.
