Algarve Nature Week started today, Friday May 5th, launched in Tavira which is acting as the focal point for a range of activities relating to ‘off-season’ tourism which the region is striving to promote.
Organised by the Algarve’s tourism board, 26 companies and other exhibitors will provide more than 80 activities.
Hiking, birdwatching, whale watching, cycling, boating, horseback riding, surfing, stand up paddle and scuba diving are some of the activities that visitors can try out at special prices on the 6th and 7th of May.
The show goes on until May 14th with a programme of events made available by different companies as featured on the Algarve Nature Week website.

Nature Week is expected to attract hundreds from schools in the region with the event also being publicised outside the region.
The tourist board is bringing in tour operators and journalists to get to know the region, "We will have familiarisation Trips, aimed at specialist operators, which will result in business to business meetings. We also are bringing national and foreign journalists to strengthen the visibility of the Algarve’s out of season offer," explained the vice president of the RTA.
All the activities proposed at Algarve Nature Week will "meet our main markets, but with a different offer."
